Multiple choice
1. The united states ranks 50th in the world for maternal mortality and
41st among industrialized nations for infant mortality rate. When
developing programs to assist in decreasing these r ates, which factor
would most likely need to be addressed as having the greatest impact?
A) resolving all language and cultural differences
B) assuring early and adequate prenatal care
C) providing more extensive women’s shelters
D) encouraging all women to eat a balan ced diet
Answer. B)
Feedback:
Early and adequate prenatal care directly impacts maternal and infant
health outcomes.
: while resolving language barriers (a) is important, it is secondary to the
need for early medical care. Providing women's shelters (c) and
encouraging a balanced diet (d) also support health but don't address
immediate medical needs as effectively as prenatal care.
2. When integrating the principles of family -centered care, the nurse would
include which of the following?
A) childbirth is viewed as a procedural event
B) families are unable to make informed choices
C) childbirth results in changes in relationships
D) families require little information to make appropriate decisions
