a. Puerperal sepsis was identified as a risk factor in labor and delivery.

c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
d. Technologic developments became available to physicicorrect answer.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Rationale
A 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.
B The development of forceps to help physicicorrect answer facilitate difficult
births was a strong factor in the decrease of home births and increase of hospital

advancement of operative procedures such a cesarean birth.
C Unlike home-births, early hospital births hindered bonding between parents and
their infants.
D Technological developments were available to physicicorrect answer, not lay
midwives.

maternity care.
D The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-
, centered maternity care.

a. Labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum room
b. Birth center

a. Increased hospitalization of children
b. Decreased number of children living in poverty
c. An increase in ambulatory care
d. Decreased use of managed care
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale

the biggest changes in health care has been the growth of managed care. The
number of hospital beds being used has decreased as more care is given in
outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children living in poverty has
increased over the last decade.
D Managed care has increased in order to control cost.
