MULTIPLE CHOICES
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.
ANS: D
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

nursery.
d. changes in pharmacologic management of labor.
ANS: 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. 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
ANS: 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. 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 nurse 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 nurses.
b. are used primarily in the pediatric setting.
c. set specific time lines for sequencing interventions.
d. are part of the nursing process.
Test Bank Page 3
, Test Bank For Maternal-Child Nursing 6th Edition Chapter 1-55 Complete
ANS: C
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 nurse wishes to work to reduce infant mortality in the United States. Which activity would
this nurse 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.
ANS: C
Prenatal care is vital to reducing infant mortality and medical costs. This nurse 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 nurse‘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.
ANS: D
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 nurses‘
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.
ANS: B
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
nurse 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
nurse be interpreted in relation to standards of care?
