1. For which reasons would a nurse review infant mortalitystatistics 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 ofthe country's general ` ` ` ` ` `
healthAns: A, B, D, E
` ` ` ` ` `
Feedback:
Infant mortalitystatistics 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) Primarycare `
B) Team nursing `
C) Case management `
D) Family-centered
careAns: 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 familyestablishesan
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
environment conducive to growth and health-promoting behaviors to sustain family
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
members during crises. A family-centered approach enables nurses to better
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
understandindividuals 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.

childhealth 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.
` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

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) Moreemployed mothers ` `
D) Stable home environments ` `
E) More single-parent `
familiesAns: A, C, E
` ` ` ` `
Feedback:
Nursing care for maternal and child is changing because families are smaller, more
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
mothers are employed out ofthe 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 philosophyof 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.
