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 develo
ped 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.

b. Home birth
c. Traditional hospital birth
d. Labor, birth, and recovery room

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 p
arent-infant contact.

ronment to new parents. An LDRP room is not less expensive than a traditional hospital roo

Test Bank Page 3
, d. Providing wound care to a surgical incision
ANS: C
Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling,
and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried
nursing
out by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic stud
ies is a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; however, the physi
cian prescribes the type of wound care through direct orders or protocol.

What concerns you most about a cesarean birthll focuses on what the patient is saying and asks fo
r clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response,
-Everything will be okll is belittling the patient's feelings. The response, --Don t worry about
it. It will be over soonll will indicate that the patient's feelings are not important. The respo
nse, -
The physician will be in later and you can talk to himll does not allow the patient to verbalize
her feelings when she wishes to do that.
