1. The opening up of hospital visiting policies for children and familieslikely
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 toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting policies forchildren. Joseph Brennaman
suggested that a lack of stimulation for infants contributed to highinfant 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.

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 caresecondary 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

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.Question format: Multiple Choice

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 developmentof 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 aspecialty 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.
