1 This is incorrect. Fetal monitoring during labor began in the late 1970s. As such,
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
this likely would have occurred during the mother’s labor and delivery during
T T T T T T T T T T T T
the 1980s. T
2 This is incorrect. In the past, the average hospital postpartum stay was 10 days.
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T

3 This is incorrect. In the past, expectant partners and families were excluded from
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
the labor and birth experience. Present trends involve the expectant partner and
T T T T T T T T T T T T
family in the labor and birth experience, including presence in the operating
T T T T T T T T T T T
room for cesarean births. T T T

delivery. This is an example of what type of death?

infant mortality among preterm infants.
T T T T
2 This is incorrect. Although advances in medical treatments have decreased infant

mortality, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is primarily used to reduce mortality of
T T T T T T T T T T T
preterm infants. T

breastfeeding and is not directly linked to reduced infant mortality or SIDS.
