MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in the early
twentieth century?
a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.
b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
d. The number of hospital births decreased.
ANS: B
A Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for generations. In the late nineteenth century,
Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented.
B The development of forceps to facilitate difficult births by physicians was a strong factor in the
decrease of home births and increase of hospital births.
C The shift to hospital births decreased the parental-infant contact.
D With the shift toward hospital births, the numbers increased.

2. Family-centered maternity care developed in response to:
a. demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth.
b. the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921.
c. parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a
nursery.
d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
ANS: C
A Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.
B The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-managed programs for mothers and
children.
C 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.
D The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-centered
maternity care.

3. Which setting for childbirth allows the least amount of parent-infant contact?
a. Labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room
b. Birth center
c. Traditional hospital birth
d. Home birth
ANS: C
A The labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room setting allows increased parent-infant contact.
B Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent-infant contact.
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.

4. As a result of changes in health care delivery and funding, a current trend seen in the pediatric
setting is:
a. increased hospitalization of children.
b. decreased number of children living in poverty.
c. an increase in ambulatory care.
d. decreased use of managed care.
ANS: C
A Hospitalization for children has decreased.
B Health care delivery has not altered the number of children living in poverty.
C One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has shifted
dramatically from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting. One of the biggest changes in
health care has been the growth of managed care. The number of hospital beds being used has
decreased as more care is given in outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children
living in poverty has increased over the last decade.
D Managed care has increased in order to control cost.

ANS: D
A Most states allow minors to obtain treatment for drug or alcohol abuse without parental
consent.
B Most states allow minors to obtain treatment for STDs without parental consent.
C In most states minors are allowed access to birth control without parental consent.
D If a minor receives surgery without proper informed consent, assault and battery charges
against the care provider can result. This does not apply to an emancipated minor (a minor child
who has the legal competency of an adult because of circumstances involving marriage, divorce,
parenting of a child, living independently without parents, or enlistment in the armed services).

9. The United States ranks twenty-eighth in infant mortality rates of the world. Which factor has a
significant impact on decreasing the mortality rate of infants?
a. Resolving all language and cultural differences
b. Enrolling the pregnant woman in the Medicaid program by the eighth month of
pregnancy
c. Ensuring early and adequate prenatal care
d. Providing more women's shelters
ANS: C
A Language and cultural differences are not infant mortality issues but must be addressed to
improve overall health care.
B Medicaid provides health care for poor pregnant women, but the process may take weeks to
take effect. The eighth month is too late to apply and receive benefits for this pregnancy.
C Because preterm infants form the largest category of those needing expensive intensive care,
early pregnancy intervention is essential for decreasing infant mortality rates.
D The women in shelters have the same difficulties in obtaining health care as do other poor
people, particularly lack of transportation and inconvenient hours of the clinics.

refuse, what is the first action the nurse should take?
a. Consult with the family of the woman.
b. Notify the physician.
c. Document the woman's refusal in the nurse's notes.
d. Make a referral to the hospital ethics committee.
ANS: B
A The client must be allowed to make choices voluntarily without undue influence or coercion
from others.
B Clients must be allowed to make choices voluntarily without undue influence or coercion from
others. The physician, especially if unaware of the client's decision, should be notified
immediately. The nurse should notify the physician of the refusal of the agency's protocol and
document all aspects of the explanations given by the nurse, as well as any instructions from the
physician.

MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Many communities now offer the availability of free-standing birth centers to provide care for
low-risk women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. When counseling the newly pregnant
woman regarding this option, the nurse should be aware that this type of care setting includes
which advantages? Choose those that apply.
a. Less expensive than acute-care hospitals
b. Access to follow-up care for 6 weeks postpartum
c. Equipped for obstetric emergencies
d. Safe, home-like births in a familiar setting
e. Staffing by lay midwives
ANS: A, B, D
Correct A, B, D. Women who are at low risk and desire a safe, home-like birth are very satisfied
with this type of care setting. The new mother may return to the birth center for postpartum
follow-up care, breastfeeding assistance, and family planning information for 6 weeks
postpartum. Since birth centers do not incorporate advanced technologies into their services,
costs are significantly less than a hospital setting.
Incorrect C, E. The major disadvantage of this care setting is that these facilities are not
equipped to handle obstetric emergencies. Should unforeseen difficulties occur, the woman must
be transported by ambulance to the nearest hospital. Birth centers are usually staffed by certified
nurse-midwives (CNMs); however, in some states lay midwives may provide this service.

2. In an effort to reduce prohibitive health care costs, many facilities have incorporated the use of
unlicensed assistive personnel into their care delivery model. Nurses supervising these
employees must be aware of what each such employee is competent to do within his or her scope
of practice. Which tasks can be delegated with supervision? Choose the tasks that apply.
a. Blood draws

b. Medication administration
c. Nursing assessment
d. Housekeeping tasks
e. Other diagnostic tests, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs)
ANS: A, B, D, E
Correct A, B, D, E. With proper supervision and adequate instruction, unlicensed assistive
personnel may perform all of these functions. In long-term care settings, these personnel are
often responsible for medication administration under the direction of the registered nurse (RN).
Incorrect C. The nurse is always responsible for client assessments and must make critical
judgments to ensure client safety. Use of the expert nurse to complete housekeeping or other
mundane tasks is not a good use of human resources. For more information about the use of
unlicensed personnel, refer to www.awhonn.org.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which principle of teaching should the nurse use to ensure learning in a family situation?
a. Motivate the family with praise and positive.
b. Present complex subject material first, while the family is alert and ready to learn.
c. Families should be taught by using medical jargon so they will be able to
understand the technical language used by physicians.
d. Learning is best accomplished using the lecture format.
ANS: A
A Praise and positive are particularly important when a family is trying to master a frustrating
task, such as breastfeeding.
B Learning is enhanced when the teaching is structured to present the simple tasks before the
complex material.
C Even though a family may understand English fairly well, they may not understand the
medical terminology or slang terms.

b. "Everything will be OK."
c. "Don't worry about it. It will be over soon."
d. "The doctor will be in later, and you can talk to him."
ANS: A
A Focusing on what the client is saying and asking for clarification is the most therapeutic
response.

c. observe the client as she performs the procedure.
d. routinely assess the infant for cleanliness.
ANS: C
A Demonstration is an excellent teaching method, but not an evaluation method.
B During verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are
incorrect. It is not the best tool for evaluation.
C The client's ability to perform the procedure correctly under the nurse's supervision is the best
method of evaluation.

6. What situation is most conducive to learning?
a. A teacher who speaks very little Spanish is teaching a class of Latino students.
b. A class is composed of students of various ages and educational backgrounds.
c. An auditorium is being used as a classroom for 300 students.
d. An Asian nurse provides nutritional information to a group of pregnant Asian
women.
ANS: D
A The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how much the
client learns. Clients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms,
nuances, slang terms, informal usage of words, or medical words. The teacher should be fluent in
the language of the student.
B Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. In order for
the teacher to best present information, it is best for the class to be of the same levels.
C A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow for questions, and the teacher is
not able to see the nonverbal from the students to ensure understanding.
D A client's culture influences the learning process; thus a situation that is most conducive to
learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the client's cultural
beliefs.

1. Today’s nurse often assumes the role of teacher or educator. Client teaching begins early in the
childbirth process and continues throughout the postpartum period. Which strategies would be
best to employ for a nurse working with a teen mother? Choose those that apply.
a. Computer-based learning
b. Videos
c. Printed material
d. Group discussion
e. Models
ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Correct A, B, C, D, E. A number of factors influence learning at any age. One of the most
significant considerations is developmental level. Teenage parents often have very different
concerns and learn in a different way than older parents. Often grandparents are also involved in
the rearing of these children and must be able to review and understand the material. There is a
wealth of new information that may not have been available when they became parents.

For many people such therapies are not considered alternative, because they are mainstream in
their culture. Others combine them with traditional medical practices, thereby using an
integrative approach. A continued concern is client safety. Some clients who use these
techniques may delay necessary care, and others may take herbal or other remedies that might
become toxic when used in combination with prescription drugs or taken in excess.
