, Chapter 1 : The Nurse’s Role in a Changing Maternal–Child Health Care Environment
1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and families likely
resulted from the work of which individual?
A. Joseph Brennaman
B. John Bowlby
C. Marshal Klaus
D. John Kennell
Answer: B
Rationale: In 1951, John Bowlby received worldwide attention with his study that
revealed the negative results of the separation of child and mother because of
hospitalization. His work led to a re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting
policies for children. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lack of stimulation for
infants contributed to high infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and
1980s, physicians Marshall Klaus and John Kennell carried out important studies on
the effect of the separation of newborns and parents. They established that early
separation may have long-term effects on family relationships and that offering the
new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a significant period after
birth may provide benefits that last well into early childhood.

2. An expectant mother states that she read that more black mothers die in
childbirth than do white mothers. When responding to her questions about the
reasons for this, the nurse accurately states that which is the major reason for the
high maternal mortality rate?
A. having formal education.
B. being unmarried.
C. income.
D. lack of prenatal care.
Answer: D
Rationale: Research shows that maternal mortality rate is directly related to lack of
prenatal care secondary to lack of access to services or insurance. Income as well
as educational level may play a role in the availability of health care, but they are
not directly responsible. Being unmarried has no bearing on infant mortality.

3. Which statement correctly defines the term "infant death rate"?
A. number of deaths in utero of fetuses 500 g or more per 1,000 live births
B. number of deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births
C. number of deaths occurring at birth or in the first 12 months of life per 1,000
live births
D. death of a live-born child before his or her first birthday.
Answer: D
Rationale: The term infant death refers to the death of a live-born child before he
or she reaches age 1 year. It also includes neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal
mortality rate is the number of infant deaths during the first 28 days of life for
every 1,000 live births. Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths during the
first 12 months of life per 1,000 live births.

4. The nursing instructor is preparing to teach a group of students about the history
of maternity care. What major development will the instructor emphasize as
greatly influencing the practice of maternity care in the United States over the past
century?
A. technologic advances and the use of forceps by primary care providers
B. development of anesthesia and acceptance of the germ theory
C. advent of birthing centers and the development of family-centered care
D. development of pediatric specialty and replacement of midwives as primary birth
attendants
Answer: B
Rationale: The emphasis should be placed on anesthesia and the germ theory. The
development of anesthesia allowed women a choice for pain management in birth;
the germ theory advanced the progress of general health care and decreased
infections in laboring women. Pediatrics as a specialty is an important step forward
but is not the greatest development, and midwives are still in practice. Maternity
care continues to evolve, and birthing centers are still under development. Forceps
are not considered an advance in maternity care.
