MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students about the history of family-
centered maternity care. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching
session?
a.
The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 promoted family-centered care.
b.
Changes in pharmacologic management of labor prompted family-centered care.
c.
Demands by physicians for family involvement in childbirth increased the practice of family-
centered care.
d.
Parental requests that infants be allowed to remain with them rather than in a nursery initiated
the practice of family-centered care.
ANS: D
2. Expectant parents ask a prenatal nurse educator, “Which setting for childbirth limits
the amount of parent–infant interaction?” Which answer should the nurse provide for
these parents in order to assist them in choosing an appropriate birth setting?
a.
Birth center
b.
Home birth
c.
Traditional hospital birth
d.
Labor, birth, and recovery room
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. Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in
parent–infant contact. Home births allow the greatest amount of parent–infant contact. The
labor, birth, recovery, and postpartum room setting allows for increased parent–infant contact.

, 3. Which statement best describes the advantage of a labor, birth, recovery, and
postpartum (LDRP) room?
a.
The family is in a familiar environment.
b.
They are less expensive than traditional hospital rooms.
c.
The infant is removed to the nursery to allow the mother to rest.
d.
The woman’s support system is encouraged to stay until discharge.
ANS: D
Sleeping equipment is provided in a private room. A hospital setting is never a familiar
environment to new parents. An LDRP room is not less expensive than a traditional hospital
room. The baby remains with the mother at all times and is not removed to the nursery for
routine care or testing. The father or other designated members of the mother’s support system
are encouraged to stay at all times.

4. Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional
nurse?
a.
Administering oral analgesics
b.
Requesting diagnostic studies
c.
Teaching the patient perineal care
d.
Providing wound care to a surgical incision
ANS: C
Nurses are now responsible for various independent functions, including teaching, counseling,
and intervening in nonmedical problems. Interventions initiated by the physician and carried out
by the nurse are called dependent functions. Administrating oral analgesics is a dependent
function; it is initiated by a physician and carried out by a nurse. Requesting diagnostic studies
is a dependent function. Providing wound care is a dependent function; however, the physician
prescribes the type of wound care through direct orders or protocol.
