Multiple Choices
1. For which reasons would a nurse review infant mortality statistics in the United
States?(Select all that apply.)
A) Measures the quality of pregnancy care
B) Reviews information on overall nutrition
C) Compares health with those of other states
D) Determines infant health and available care
E) Provides an index of the country's general
health
ANS: A, B, D, E

Feedback:
Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a country's general health,
measures thequality of pregnancy care, provides information on overall
nutrition, and determines infant health and available care. Infant mortality
statistics compares the health with those of other countries and not with
those of other states.

2. The nurse is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal and
child carecontinuum. Which type of patient care area is an example of this
approach?
A) Primary care
B) Team nursing
C) Case management
D) Family-centered
care
ANS: D

Feedback:
Keeping the family at the center of care is important because the level of a
family's functioning is important to the health status of its members. A healthy
family establishesan environment conducive to growth and health-promoting
behaviors to sustain family members during crises. A family-centered approach
enables nurses to better understand individuals and their effect on others and,
in turn, to provide more holistic care. Primarynursing, team nursing, and case
management do not necessary take into consideration the maternal and child
care continuum.
3. Which actions should the nurse perform when supporting the goals of
maternal andchild health care? (Select all that apply.)
A) Advocates protecting the rights of the mother and fetus
B) Teaches family members interventions to improve health

C) Adheres to principles that focus on the needs of the mother
D) Encourages maternal hospitalization to regain strength and stamina
E) Assesses family members for strengths and specific needs or
challenges
ANS: A, B, E

Feedback:
Actions that the nurse should perform when supporting the goals of maternal
and child health care include advocating the rights for the mother and fetus,
teaching health promotion interventions, and assessing the family for strengths
and specific needs or challenges. Adhering to principles that focus on the
needs of the mother and encouraging maternal hospitalization to regain
strength and stamina are not actions thatsupport the goals of maternal and
child health care.

4. The nurse is reviewing the 2020 National Health Goals and notes that which is
a focusof these goals?
A) Health promotion and disease prevention
B) Early diagnosis of chronic health problems
C) Effective use of medication to treat disease
D) Reduce the cost of health care and
medications
ANS: A

Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals are intended to help citizens more easily
understand theimportance of health promotion and disease prevention and to
encourage wide participation in improving health in the next decade. These
goals do not focus on the early diagnosis of chronic problems, use of
medications to treat disease, or reduce the cost of health care and medications.
5. The nurse has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support maternal
and childhealth issues. What does the nurse realize as reasons for the changes
in care? (Select allthat apply.)
A) Smaller families
B) Less domestic violence
C) More employed mothers
D) Stable home environments
E) More single-parent
families
ANS: A, C, E

Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller,

more mothers are employed out of the home, and there are more single-parent
families. Thereis an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable
and more mobile, whichinfluences homelessness.

6. During an assessment, the nurse asks a patient from a non-English-speaking
culture which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health
care. What is thepurpose of asking the patient this question?
A) Analyze for herb–drug interactions
B) Understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care
C) Determine the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed
D) Explain to the physician the patient's preference for nontraditional
medicineapproaches

ANS: A

Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the
action of an herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use
of herbal remediesis not done to understand the patient's philosophy of
alternative health care, determine the types of medications the patient will
need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's preferences for nontraditional
medicine approaches to the physician.
7. The nurse notes that statistics on maternal mortality had improved but are
again becoming elevated. What does the nurse realize as a reason for this
change in maternalmortality rates?
A) Earlier prenatal care
B) Gestational hypertension
C) Increased vaginal deliveries
D) Treatment for chronic
diseases
ANS: B

Feedback:
This increasing rate in maternal mortality is associated with more cesarean
births, more gestational hypertension related to preexisting hypertensive
disorders, and lack of healthinsurance for many Americans. This increase is not
because of earlier prenatal care, increased vaginal deliveries, or treatment for
chronic diseases.

8. A new mother asks the nurse if all of the new baby's injections can be given in
one visitbecause the mother is losing income from missing work because of the
office visits. What does this new mother's issue indicate to the nurse?
