Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As such,
this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery during
the 1980s.
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum stay was 10 days.
Presently, the average postpartum stay is 48 hours or less.
3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and families were excluded from
the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner and
family in the labor and birth experience, including presence in the operating
room for cesarean births.
4 This is correct. Hospital support for breastfeeding, including a lactation
consultant and employment of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, were both
enacted during the early 1990s.

, Feedback
1 This is incorrect. EMCO has been cited as one of the factors that has reduced
infant mortality among preterm infants.

2 This is incorrect. Although advances in medical treatments have decreased infant
mortality, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is primarily used to reduce mortality of
preterm infants.
3 This is incorrect. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was developed to support
breastfeeding and is not directly linked to reduced infant mortality or SIDS.
4 This is correct. The Back to Sleep campaign and the Safe to Sleep campaigns were
designed to promote healthy infant sleeping habits. The decrease in SIDS from
1995 to 2015 was attributed to the Safe to Sleep campaign.
