Type: MCSA
t t
The nurse is speaking to students about changes in maternal–newborn care. One change is that self-care has gained
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
wide acceptance with patients, the healthcare community, and third-party payers due to research findingsthat
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
suggest that it:
t t t
1. Shortens newborn length of stay. t t t t
2. Decreases use of home health agencies. t t t t t
3. Reduces healthcare costs. t t
4. Decreases the number of emergency department visits. t t t t t t

physiologic stability of the mother and newborn. Home healthcare agencies often are involved in patient care to
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
decrease hospital stay time.

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 3: Research indicates self-care significantly reduces healthcare costs.
t t t t t t t t
Rationale 4: Acute emergencies are addressed by emergency departments, and are not delayed by those practicing
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
self-care.

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the expectant families.

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
birthing unit.
t t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
coach.

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Question 3 t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
cares for her patients. An example of this is:
t t t t t t t t t
1. Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring.
t t t t t t t t
2. Delivering at home with a nurse-midwife and doula. t t t t t t t

4. Breastfeeding of the new baby on the delivery table. t t t t t t t t
CORRECT ANSWER: 1 t t
Rationale 1: Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring are all recent
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
technologies that have affected the care in labor and delivery areas.
t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 2: A nurse-midwife and a doula are not examples of technological care.
t t t t t t t t t t t t
Rationale 3: Fathers’ being present during labor and coaching their partners represents nontechnological care
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
during childbirth.
t t
Rationale 4: Breastfeeding is not an example of technology impacting care.
