Which factor\ significantly\ contributed\ to\ the\ shift\ from\ home\ births\ to\ hospital\ births\ in\
the\early\ 20th\ century?
a. Puerperal\ sepsis\ was\ identified\ as\ a\ risk\ factor\ in\ labor\ and\ delivery.
b. Forceps\ were\ developed\ to\ facilitate\ difficult\ births.
c. The\ importance\ of\ early\ parental-infant\ contact\ was\ identified.
d. Technologic\ developments\ became\ available\ to\ physicians.
ANS:\ D
Technologic\ developments\ were\ available\ to\ physicians,\ not\ lay\ midwives.\ So\ in-hospital\
births\ increased\ in\ order\ to\ take\ advantage\ of\ these\ advancements.\ 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.\ The\ development\ of\ forceps\ is\ an\
example\ of\ a\ technology\ advance\ made\ in\ the\ early\ 20th\ century\ but\ is\ not\ the\ only\ reason\
birthplaces\ moved.\ Unlike\ home\ births,\ early\ hospital\ births\ hindered\ bonding\ between\
parents\ and\ their\ infants.
