Question 1 u




Type: MCSA
u u




The nurse is speaking to students about changes in maternal–newborn care. One change is that self-care has gained
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




wide acceptance with patients, the healthcare community, and third-party payers due to research findingsthat
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




suggest that it:
u u u




1. Shortens newborn length of stay. u u u u




2. Decreases use of home health agencies. u u u u u




3. Reduces healthcare costs. u u




4. Decreases the number of emergency department visits.
u u u u u u




CORRECT ANSWER: 3 u u




Rationale 1: Length of stay is often determined by third-party payer (insurance company) policies as well as
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




physiologic stability of the mother and newborn. Home healthcare agencies often are involved in patient care to
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




decrease hospital stay time.
u u u u




Rationale 2: Home healthcare agencies often are involved in patient care to decrease hospital stay time.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




Rationale 3: Research indicates self-care significantly reduces healthcare costs.
u u u u u u u u




Rationale 4: Acute emergencies are addressed by emergency departments, and are not delayed by those practicing
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




self-care.
u




Question 2 u




In order to combat the impersonal nature of technology that sometimes interferes with family-focused care, the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




nurse should take which actions?
u u u u u




Standard Text: Select all that apply.
u u u u u




1. Advocate within the community for natural childbirth.
u u u u u u




2. Make childbirth education classes available.
u u u u




3. Be instrumental in providing change in the birth environment at work.
u u u u u u u u u u

, 4. Suggest that doulas not be allowed to interfere with the childbirth process.
u u u u u u u u u u u




5. Advocate for more home healthcare agencies.
u u u u u




CORRECT ANSWER: 1,2,3,5 u u




Rationale 1: Natural childbirth, if the patient is able, is the safest method for the baby.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




Rationale 2: It is appropriate for nurses, in conjunction with doctors and hospitals, to provide childbirth classes
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




for the expectant families.
u u u u




Rationale 3: By working with other staff and doctors, the nurse is able to implement change as needed within the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




birthing unit.
u u




Rationale 4: Doulas are encouraged to be part of the birthing process as the patient wishes. They are mainly thereas
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




a coach.
u u




Rationale 5: Patients are going home sooner all the time, so there needs to be more follow-up in the home.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




Question 3 u




The nurse is telling a new patient how technology used in maternal–newborn care has changed the way the nurse
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




cares for her patients. An example of this is:
u u u u u u u u u




1. Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring.
u u u u u u u u




2. Delivering at home with a nurse-midwife and doula.
u u u u u u u




3. Having the father present as the coach and cut the umbilical cord.
u u u u u u u u u u u




4. Breastfeeding of the new baby on the delivery table. u u u u u u u u




CORRECT ANSWER: 1 u u




Rationale 1: Elective inductions, requested cesareans, epidural anesthesia, and fetal monitoring are all recent
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




technologies that have affected the care in labor and delivery areas.
u u u u u u u u u u u




Rationale 2: A nurse-midwife and a doula are not examples of technological care.
u u u u u u u u u u u u




Rationale 3: Fathers’ being present during labor and coaching their partners represents nontechnological care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




during childbirth.
u u




Rationale 4: Breastfeeding is not an example of technology impacting care.
u u u u u u u u u u
