MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students about the history of family-centered
maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching session?
a. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 promoted family-centered care.
b. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor prompted family-centered care.
c. Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth increased the practice
of family-centered care.
d. Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a
nursery initiated the practice of family-centered care.
ANS: D
As research began to identify the benefits of early, extended parent–infant contact, parents
began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of
rooming-in and finally to family-centered maternity care. The Sheppard-Towner Act provided
funds for state-managed programs for mothers and children but did not promote
family-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in
family-centered maternity care. Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application OBJ: Nursing Process Step: Planning
MSC: Patient Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance
2. Expectant parents ask a prenatal nurse educator, “Which setting for childbirth limits the
amount of parent–infant interaction?” Which answer should the nurse provide for these
parents in order to assist them in choosing an appropriate birth setting?
a. Birth center
b. Home birth
c. Traditional hospital birth
d. Labor, birth, and recovery room
ANS: C
In the traditional hospital setting, the mother may see the infant for only short feeding periods,
and the infant is cared for in a separate nursery. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in
parent–infant contact. Home births allow the greatest amount of parent–infant contact. The
labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum room setting allows for increased parent–infant contact.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding OBJ: Nursing Process Step: Planning
MSC: Patient Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance
3. Which statement best describes the advantage of a labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum
(LDRP) room?
a. The family is in a familiar environment.
b. They are less expensive than traditional hospital rooms.
c. The infant is removed to the nursery to allow the mother to rest.
d. The woman’s support system is encouraged to stay until discharge.
ANS: D
