Test Bank For Canadian Maternity and Pediatric Nursing
2nd Edition by Jessica Webster, Caroline Sanders, Susan
Ricci, Theresa Kyle, Susan Carmen

2. The nurse is working with a group of community health members to develop a
plan to address the special health needs of women. The group would design
educational programs to address which priority condition?
A. Smoking
B. Heart disease
C. Diabetes
D. Cancer - Answer: B
Rationale: The group needs to address cardiovascular disease, the number one
cause of death in women regardless of racial or ethnic group. Smoking is
related to
heart disease and the development of cancer. However, heart disease and
cancer
can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history. Cancer is the
second
leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of
developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can
affect
women. However, it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.
1. When integrating the principles of family-centered care into the birthing
process,
the nurse would base care upon which belief?
A. Birth is viewed as a medical event.
B. Families are unable to make informed choices due to stress.
C. Birth results in changes in relationships.
D. Families require little information to make appropriate decisions for care. -
Answer: C

,Rationale: Family-centered care is based on the following principles: Birth
affects
the entire family, and relationships will change; birth is viewed as a normal,
healthy
event in the life of the family; and families are capable of making decisions about
their own care if given adequate information and professional support.


3. A nurse is conducting an orientation program for a group of newly hired
nurses.
As part of the program, the nurse is reviewing the issue of informed consent.
The
nurse determines that the teaching was effective when the group identifies
which
situation as a violation of informed consent?
A. Performing a procedure on a 15-year-old without parental consent
B. Serving as a witness to the signature process on an operative permit
C. Asking whether the client understands what she is signing following receiving
education
D. Getting verbal consent over the phone for an emergency procedure from the
spouse of a unconscious woman - Answer: A
Rationale: In most states, only clients over the age of 18 can legally provide
consent for health care. Serving as a witness to the signature process, asking
whether the client understands what she is signing, and getting verbal consent
over
the phone for emergency procedures are all key to informed consent and are
not
violations.


4. A pregnant woman is to undergo an invasive procedure to evaluate the status
of
her fetus. To ensure informed consent, which action would be the priority

,responsibility of the nurse providing care to this woman?
A. Asking relevant questions to determine the client's understanding
B. Providing a detailed description of the risks and benefits of the procedure
C. Explaining the exact steps that will occur during the procedure
D. Offering suggestions for alternative options for treatment - Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's responsibilities related to informed consent include:
Ensuring
the consent form is completed with signatures from the client; serving as a
witness
to the signature process; and determining whether the client understands what
she
is signing by asking her pertinent questions. The physician, advanced practice
nurse, or midwife is responsible for informing the client about the procedure and
obtaining consent by providing a detailed description of the procedure or
treatment,
its potential risks and benefits, and alternative methods available.


5. A 9-month-old with glaucoma requires surgery. The infant's parents are
divorced. To obtain informed consent, which action would be most appropriate?
A. Contacting the father for informed consent
B. Obtaining informed consent from the mother
C. Seeking a court ruling on the course of care
D. Determining sole or joint custody by the parents - Answer: D
Rationale: The most appropriate action would be to determine legal custody by
court decree. If the parents have joint custody, then either parent may give
consent, but it is always best to have consent given by both parents. The parent
with only physical custody may give consent for emergency care. The last resort
is
getting a court ruling; usually this is not necessary unless the parents disagree
about the care of the child.

, 6. Which statement made by a nursing student would best indicate that her
education on family-centered care was fully understood?
A. "Childbirth affects the entire family, and relationships will change."
B. "Families are usually not capable of making health care decisions for
themselves,
especially in stressful situations."
C. "Mothers are the only family member affected by childbirth."
D. "Since childbirth is a medical procedure, it may affect everyone." - Answer: A
Rationale: Childbirth affects the entire family, and relationships will change.
Childbirth is viewed as a normal life event, not a medical procedure. Families are
very capable of making health care decisions about their own care with proper
information and support.


7. Which aspect of client wellness has not been a focus of health during the 21st
century ?
A. Disease prevention
B. Health promotion
C. Wellness
D. Analysis of morbidity and mortality - Answer: D
Rationale: The focus on health has shifted to disease prevention, health
promotion,
and wellness. In the last century, much of the focus was on analyzing morbidity
and mortality rates.


8. A nurse is planning a continuum of care for a client during pregnancy, labor,
and
childbirth. What is the most important factor in enhancing the birthing
experience?
