MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse educator is teaching a group oƒ nursing students about the history oƒ
ƒamily-centered maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching
session?
a. The Sheppard-Towner Act oƒ 1921 promoted ƒamily-centered care.
b. Changes in pharmacologic management oƒ labor prompted ƒamily-centered care.
c. Demands by physicians ƒor ƒamily involvement in childbirth increased the practice
oƒ ƒamily-centered care.
d. Parental requests that inƒants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a
nursery initiated the practice oƒ ƒamily-centered care.
ANS: D
As research began to identiƒy the beneƒits oƒ early, extended parent–inƒant contact,
parents began to insist that the inƒant remain with them. This gradually developed into the
practice oƒ rooming-in and ƒinally to ƒamily-centered maternity care. The Sheppard-
Towner Act provided ƒunds ƒor state-managed programs ƒor mothers and children but did
not promote ƒamily-centered care. The changes in pharmacologic management oƒ labor
were not a ƒactor in ƒamily-centered maternity care. Ƒamily-centered care was a request
by parents, not physicians.

2. Expectant parents ask a prenatal nurse educator, ―Which setting ƒor childbirth limits the
amount oƒ parent–inƒant interaction?‖ Which answer should the nurse provide ƒor
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 inƒant ƒor only short ƒeeding
periods, and the inƒant is cared ƒor in a separate nursery. Birth centers are set up to allow
an increase in parent–inƒant contact. Home births allow the greatest amount oƒ
parent–inƒant contact. The labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum room setting allows ƒor
increased parent–inƒant contact.
