MULTIPLE CHOICE kr




1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s risk of having a low-birth-weight
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


(LBW)infant, which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. African-American race kr


b. Cigarette smoking kr


c. Poor nutritional status kr kr


d. Limited maternal education kr kr




ANS: A k r


The rise in the overall LBW rates were due to increases in LBW births to non-Hispanic
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


black women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hispanic black infants are
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


almost twice as likely as non-Hispanic white infants to be of LBW and to die in the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


first year of life.. Race is a nonmodifiable risk factor. Cigarette smoking is an important
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


factor inpotential infant mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


smoking is a modifiable risk factor. Poor nutrition is an important factor in potential
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


infant mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, nutritional status is
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a modifiable risk factor. Maternal education is an important factor in potential infant
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, maternal education is a
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


modifiable risk factor.

2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


current statistics for infant mortality, which intervention is most important for the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


nurse to includein the client’s plan of care?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. Perform a nutrition assessment. kr kr kr


b. Refer the woman to a social worker. kr kr kr kr kr kr


c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: D k r


Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


associated with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


butit is not the most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


may need assistance from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


referral to a socialworker is not the most important aspect the nurse should address at
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


this time. If the woman has identifiable high-risk problems, then her health care may
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


need to be provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


American women have high-riskissues. In addition, advising the woman to see an
kr kr kr r
k kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the nurse should focus at this
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of care a client
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


is to receive.

3. The nurses working at a newly established birthing center have begun to compare
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


theirperformance in providing maternal-newborn care against clinical standards.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


This comparison process is most commonly known as what?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. Best practices network kr kr


b. Clinical benchmarking kr


c. Outcomes-oriented pracNtiU
ceRS kr


d. Evidence-based practice kr




ANS: C k r


Outcomes-oriented practice measures the effectiveness of the interventions and quality kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


of care against benchmarks or standards. The term best practice refers to a program or
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


servicethat has been recognized for its excellence. Clinical benchmarking is a process
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


used to compare one’s own performance against the performance of the best in an area
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


of service. The term evidence-based practice refers to the provision of care based on
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


evidence gained through research and clinical trials.

4. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


initial assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic client with limited English
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


proficiency. Which intervention is the most important for the nurse to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


implement?
kr


a. Use maternity jargon to enable the client to become familiar with these terms.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


b. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


c. Provide the client with handouts. kr kr kr kr


d. Assess whether the client understands the discussion.
kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: D k r


Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words, avoiding jargon,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


and evaluating whether the client understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


clearly and focusing on what is important will increase understanding. Most client
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


education materials are written at a level too high for the average adult and may not
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


be useful for a client withlimited English proficiency.

5. Which statement best exemplifies contemporary maternity nursing?
kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. Use of midwives for all vaginal deliveries
kr kr kr kr kr kr


b. Family-centered care kr


c. Free-standing birth clinics kr kr


d. Physician-driven
careANS:
kr kr k r B

, Contemporary maternity nursing focuses on the family’s needs and desires. Fathers,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


partners, grandparents, and siblings may be present for the birth and participate in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


activitiessuch as cutting the baby’s umbilical cord. Both midwives and physicians
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


perform vaginal deliveries. Free-standing clinics are an example of alternative birth
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


options. Contemporary maternity nursing is driven by the relationship between nurses
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


and their clients.

6. A 38-year-old Hispanic woman vaginally delivered a 9-pound, 6-ounce baby girl after
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


beingin labor for 43 hours. The baby died 3 days later from sepsis. On what grounds
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


could the woman have a legitimate legal case for negligence?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. Inexperienced maternity nurse was assigned to care for the client. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


b. Client was past her due date by 3 days. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


c. Standard of care was not met. kr kr kr kr kr


d. Client refused electronic fetal monitoring. kr kr kr kr




ANS: C k r


Not meeting the standard of care is a legitimate factor for a case of negligence. An
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


inexperienced maternity nurse would need to display competency before being assigned
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


tocare for clients on his or her own. This client may have been past her due date;
kr r
k kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


however, aterm pregnancy often goes beyond 40 weeks of gestation. Although fetal
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


monitoring is thestandard of care, the client has the right to refuse treatment. This
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


refusal is not a case for negligence, but informed consent should be properly
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


obtained, and the client should have signed an against medical advice form when
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


refusing any treatment that is within the standard of care.

7. When the nurse is unsure how to perform a client care procedure that is high risk and
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


lowvolume, his or her best action in this situation would be what?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


a. Ask another nurse. kr kr


b. Discuss the procedure with the client’s physician. kr kr kr kr kr kr


c. Look up the procedure in a nursing textbook.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


d. First consult the agency procedure manual
kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: D k r


Following the agency’s policies and procedures manual is always best when seeking
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


information on correct client procedures. These policies should reflect the current
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


standardsof care and the individual state’s guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for his
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


or her own practice. Relying on another nurse may not always be a safe practice. Each
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


nurse is obligated to follow the standards of care for safe client care delivery.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


Physicians are responsible for their own client care activity. Nurses may follow safe
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


orders from physicians, but they are also responsible for the activities that they, as
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


nurses, are to carry out. Information provided in a nursing textbook is basic information
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


for general knowledge.Furthermore, the information in a textbook may not reflect the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr


current standard of care or the individual state or hospital policies.
