J J J J J J J J
that apply.)
J

B) Reviewsinformation on overall diet J J J J
C) Compares health with thoseof other states J J J J J J
D) Determines infant health and available care J J J J J
E) Provides an index of the J J J J J

B, D,E
J
Feedback:
Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a
J J J J J J J J
country's general health, measures thequality of
J J J J J J
pregnancy care, provides information on overall diet,
J J J J J J J
and determines infant health and available care.
J J J J J J J
Infant mortalitystatistics compares the health with
J J J J J J J
those of other countries and not with those of other
J J J J J J J J J J
states.
2. The NURSE is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal
J J J J J J J J J J J J
and childcare continuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
this approach?
J
A) Primarycare J
B) Team nursing J
C) Casemanagement J
D) Family- J
centered care J J
ANS; D J
Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
family's functioning is important to the health status of its members. A
J J J J J J J J J J J J
healthy family establishesan environment conducive to growth and health-
J J J J J J J J
promoting behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A family-
J J J J J J J J J J
centered approach enables NURSEs to better understand individuals and
J J J J J J J J J
their effect on others and, in turn, to provide more holistic care.

ANS; A, B, E J J J
Feedback:
Actions that the NURSE should perform when supporting the goals of maternal and child
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
health care include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus, teaching
J J J J J J J J J J J J
healthpromotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths and specific needs or J J J J J J J J J J J J
challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the needs of the mother and encouraging
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina are not actions that support the goals
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
of maternal and child health care.

4. The NURSE is reviewing the 2020 National Health Goals and notes that which
J J J J J J J J J J J J
is afocus of these goals?

Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals are intended to help citizens more easilyunderstand
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
theimportance of health promotion and illness prevention and to encourage wide J J J J J J J J J J J
participation in improving health in the next decade. These goals do not focus on the early
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
diagnosis of chronic problems, use of medications to treat illness, or reduce the cost of
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
health care and medications.

5. The NURSE has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal and child
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
health issues. What does the NURSE realize as reasons for the changes in care? (Select
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
allthat apply.) J
A) Smaller families J
B) Less domesticviolence J J
C) Moreemployed mothers J J
D) Stable home environments J J
E) More single-parent families J J
ANS; A, C, E J J J
Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more mothers
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent families. There is an increase
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
in domestic violence, and families are less stable and more mobile, which influences
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
homelessness.
6. During an assessment, the NURSE asks a patient from a non-English-speaking
J J J J J J J J J J J
culturewhich types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health J J J J J J J J J J J J
care.What is the purpose of asking the patient this question?
J J J J J J J J J
A) Analyze forherb–druginteractions J J J
B) Understand thepatient's philosophyofalternative health care J J J J J J J
C) Determine the types ofmedications the patient will need to beprescribed J J J J J J J J J J J
D) Explain to the physician the patient's preference for nontraditional J J J J J J J J J
medicine approaches J
ANS; A J
Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of an
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remedies is not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine the types
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's preferences for
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician. J J J J J
