Mitral valve prolapse (MVP). c. d. Chronic hypertension. Anemia. The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension associated with p regnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There are no studies that indicate MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors. Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors. Although a nemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in p regnancy. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: 6 a. b.

Subjective background, assessment, recommendation Situation, background, anticipated recommendation ANS: B 6 The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific framework for c ommunication among health care providers.

The role of the professional nurse caring for childbearing families has evolved to emphasize: a. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside. 7 b. c. d. ANS: C Primarily hospital care of maternity patients. Practice using an evidence-based approach. Planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays. Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for patients throu ghout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is one of the nurses tasks; ho wever, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nu rses care for women in clinics and physicians offices and teach classes to help families prepare for childbir th. Nurses also care for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been critical ly important in developing strategies to improve the well- being of women and their infants and have led the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evi dence- based approach. Maternity patients have experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of stay ov er the past 2 decades.

A 23-year-old African- American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement? a. b. c. Perform a nutrition assessment. Refer the woman to a social worker. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments. 8 ANS: D Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition assessment is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the mostZimportant aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high- risk problems, her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high- risk issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on whic h the nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of c are a patient is to receive.
