,Chapter 1
1. For which reasons would a nursing practitioner 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
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ A, B, D, E
DETAILED ELABORATION:
Infant mortality statistics provide an index of a country's general health, measures the
quality 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 nursing practitioner is providing care in an organization that supports the maternal
and child care continuum. 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
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ D
DETAILED ELABORATION:
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 establishes
an 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. Primary
nursing, team nursing, and case management do not necessary take into consideration
the maternal and child care continuum.
,3. Which actions should the nursing practitioner perform when supporting the goals
of maternal and child 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
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ A, B, E
DETAILED ELABORATION:
Actions that the nursing practitioner 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 that support the goals of maternal and child health care.
4. The nursing practitioner is reviewing the 2020 National Health Goals and notes that
which is a focus of 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
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ A
DETAILED ELABORATION:
The 2020 National Health Goals are intended to help citizens more easily understand the
importance 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 nursing practitioner has noticed a change in the type of care needed to support
maternal and child health issues. What does the nursing practitioner realize as reasons
for the changes in care? (Select all that apply.)
A) Smaller families
B) Less domestic violence
C) More employed mothers
D) Stable home environments
E) More single-parent families
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ A, C, E
DETAILED ELABORATION:
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. There
is an increase in domestic violence, and families are less stable and more mobile, which
influences homelessness.
6. During an assessment, the nursing practitioner asks a patient from a non-English-
speaking culture which types of home remedies and herbs the patient uses for health
care. What is the purpose 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 medicine
approaches
RIGHT CHOICE(S)✔✔ A
DETAILED ELABORATION:
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 remedies
is 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.
