1. The Opening Up Of Hospital Visiting Policies For Children And Families
Likely Resulted From The Work Of Which Individual?
A. Joseph Brennaman
B. John Bowlby
C. Marshal Klaus
D. John Kennell
ANSWER; B
Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby Received Worldwide Attention With His Study
That Revealed The Negative Results Of The Separation Of Child And Mother
Because Of Hospitalization. His Work Led To A Re-Evaluation And Liberalization Of
Hospital Visiting Policies For Children. Joseph Brennaman Suggested That A Lack
Of Stimulation For Infants Contributed To High Infant Mortality Rates At The Time.
In The 1970s And 1980s, Physicians Marshall Klaus And John Kennell Carried Out
Important Studies On The Effect Of The Separation Of Newborns And Parents.
They Established That Early Separation May Have Long-Term Effects On Family
Relationships And That Offering The New Family An Opportunity To Be Together At
Birth And For A Significant Period After Birth May Provide Benefits That Last Well
Into Early Childhood.
Question Format: Multiple Choice
Chapter 1: The Nurse's Role In A Changing Maternal-Child Health Care Environment
Cognitive Level: Remember
Client Needs: Health Promotion And Maintenance
Integrated Process: Nursing Process
Reference: P. 4
2. An Expectant Mother States That She Read That More Black Mothers Die In
Childbirth Than Do White Mothers. When Responding To Her Questions About The
Reasons For This, The Nurse Accurately States That Which Is The Major Reason
For The High Maternal Mortality Rate?
A. Having Formal Education.
B. Being Unmarried.
C. Income.
D. Lack Of Prenatal Care.
ANSWER; D
Rationale: Research Shows That Maternal Mortality Rate Is Directly Related To
Lack Of Prenatal Care Secondary To Lack Of Access To Services Or Insurance.
Income As Well As Educational Level May Play A Role In The Availability Of Health
Care, But They Are Not Directly Responsible. Being Unmarried Has No Bearing On
Infant Mortality.
