MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in the
early 20th 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. Technologic developments became available to physicians.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>D
EXPLANATION:->>Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay
midwives. So in-hospital births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements.
Puerperal sepsis has been a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century,
Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented with improved hygienic practices. The
development of forceps is an example of a technology advance made in the early 20th century
but is not the only reason birthplaces moved. Unlike home births, early hospital births
hindered bonding between parents and their infants.

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
Caregiverry.
d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>C
EXPLANATION:->>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.
Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of
1921 provided funds for
state-managed programs for mothers and children. 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
, CORRECT ANSWER:->>C
EXPLANATION:->>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 Caregiverry. While this is slowly
changing, to more closely resemble other birthing models, the traditional hospital birth still
offers the least amount of parent-infant contact. The labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room
setting allows increased parent-infant contact. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in
parent-infant contact.
Home births allow an increase in parent-infant contact.

4. The maternity Caregiver should have a clear understanding of the correct use of a
clinical pathway. One characteristic of clinical pathways is that they
a. are developed and implemented by Caregivers.
b. are used primarily in the pediatric setting.
c. set specific time lines for sequencing interventions.
d. are part of the nursing process.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>C
EXPLANATION:->>Clinical pathways are standardized, interdisciplinary plans of care
devised for patients with a particular health problem. They are used to identify patient
outcomes, specify timelines to achieve those outcomes, direct appropriate interventions and
sequencing of interventions, include interventions from a variety of disciplines, promote
collaboration, and involve a comprehensive approach to care. They are developed by
multiple health care professionals and reflect interdisciplinary care. They can be used in
multiple settings and for patients throughout the life span. They are not part of the nursing
process but can be used in conjunction with the nursing process to provide care to patients.

5. A Caregiver wishes to work to reduce infant mortality in the United States. Which activity
would this Caregiver most likely participate in?
a. Creating pamphlets in several different languages using an interpreter.
b. Assisting women to enroll in Medicaid by their third trimester.
c. Volunteering to provide prenatal care at community centers.
d. Working as an intake counselor at a women‘s shelter.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>C
EXPLANATION:->>Prenatal care is vital to reducing infant mortality and medical costs.
This Caregiver would most likely participate in community service providing prenatal care
outreach activities in community centers, particularly in low-income areas. Pamphlets in other
languages, enrolling in Medicaid, and working at a women‘s shelter all might impact infant
mortality, but the greatest effect would be from assisting women to get consistent prenatal
care.

6. Which statement is true regarding the ―quality assurance‖ or ―incident‖ report?
a. The report assures the legal department that no problem exists.
b. Reports are a permanent part of the patient‘s chart.
, c. The Caregiver‘s notes should contain, ―Incident report filed, and copy placed in chart.‖
d. This report is a form of documentation of an event that may result in legal action.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>D
EXPLANATION:->>An incident report is used when something occurs that might result in
legal action, such as a patient fall or medication error. It warns the legal department that there
may be a problem in a particular patient‘s care. Incident reports are not part of the patient‘s
chart; thus the Caregivers‘ notes should not contain any reference to them.

7. Which woman would be most likely to seek prenatal care?
a. A 15-year-old who tells her friends, ―I don‘t believe I‘m pregnant.‖
b. A 20-year-old who is in her first pregnancy and has access to a free prenatal clinic.
c. A 28-year-old who is in her second pregnancy and abuses drugs and alcohol.
d. A 30-year-old who is in her fifth pregnancy and delivered her last infant at home.
CORRECT ANSWER:->>B
EXPLANATION:->>The patient who acknowledges the pregnancy early, has access to
health care, and has no reason to avoid health care is most likely to seek prenatal care. Being
in denial about the pregnancy increases the risk of not seeking care. This patient is also 15,
and other social factors may discourage her from seeking care as well. Women who abuse
substances are less likely to receive prenatal care. Some women see pregnancy and delivery as
a natural occurrence and do not seek health care.

8. A woman who delivered her baby 6 hours ago complains of headache and dizziness. The
Caregiver administers an analgesic but does not perform any assessments. The woman then
has a tonic-clonic seizure, falls out of bed, and fractures her femur. How would the actions
of the Caregiver be interpreted in relation to standards of care?
a. Negligent: the Caregiver failed to assess the woman for possible complications
b. Negligent: because the Caregiver medicated the woman
c. Not negligent: the woman had signed a waiver concerning the use of side rails
d. Not negligent: the woman did not inform the Caregiver of her symptoms as
soon as they occurred
CORRECT ANSWER:->>A
EXPLANATION:->>There are four elements to malpractice, which is negligence in the
performance of professional duties: duty, breach of duty, damage, and proximate cause. The
Caregiver was negligent because she or he did not perform any assessments, which is the
first step of the nursing process and is a standard of care. By not assessing the patient, the
Caregiver did not meet established standards of care, and thus is guilty of professional
negligence, or malpractice.

9. Which patient situation fails to meet the first requirement of informed consent?
a. The patient does not understand the physician‘s explanations.
