Feedback:
Infant mortalitystatistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures the
u u u u u u u u u u u gi
quality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall nutrition, and determines
u u u u u u u u u u u
infant health and available care. Infant mortality statistics compares the health with
u u u u u u u u u u u u
uthose of other countries and not with those of other states.
u u u u u u u u u u
2. The nurse is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal and child care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi
continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this approach?
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
A) Primarycare
B) Team nursing u
C) Case management u
D) Family-
centered careAns: D

Feedback:

Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a family's fun
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ctioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy family establishesan
u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi
environment conducive to growth and health-
u u u u u u
promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A family-
u u u u u u u u u
centered approach enables nurses to better understandindividuals and their effect on oth
u u u u u u gi u u u u u
ers and, in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case
u u u u u u u u u u gi u u u u
management do not necessary take into consideration the maternal and child care conti
u u u u u u u u u u u u u

omotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or
u u u u u u u u u u u u
challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and

encouraging maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions

thatsupport the g oals of maternal and child health care.

5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
uchildhealth issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes in care?
u gi u u u u u u u u u u u u u
u(Select allthat apply.) u gi u
A) Smaller families u
B) Less domestic violence u u
C) Moreemployed mothers u
D) Stable home environments u u
E) More single- u
parent familiesAns: A, C, E u gi uu u u
Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more mo
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
thers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-
u u u u u u u u u u u u
parent families. Thereis an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable a
u u gi u u u u u u u u u u u
und more mobile, whichinfluences homelessness.

6. During an assessment, the nurse asks a patient from a non-English-
u u u u u u u u u u
speaking culture which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
care. What is thepurpose of asking the patient this question?
u u u u gi u u gi u u u
A) Analyze for herb–drug interactions u u u
B) Understand the patient's philosophyof alternative health care u u u u u u
C) Determine the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed u u u u u u u u u u u
D) Explain to the physician the patient's preference for nontraditional medicine u u u u u u u u u gi
approaches u
Ans: A u
Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of
u u u u u u u u u u u u
an herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remedies
u u u u u u u u u u u u u gi
is not done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
upreferences for nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician. u u u u u u u
