MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which factor significantly contributed to the shift from home births to hospital births in the
early 20th century?

b. Forceps were developed to facilitate difficult births.
c. The importance of early parental-infant contact was identified.
d. Technologic developments became available to physicians.
ANS: D
Feedback

century, Semmelweis discovered how it could be prevented with improved

nursery
d. Changes in pharmacologic management of labor
ANS: C
Feedback
A Family-centered care was a request by parents, not physicians.
B The Sheppard-Towner Act provided funds for state-managed programs for
mothers and children.
C As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant
contact, parents began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually
developed into the practice of rooming-in and finally to family-centered
maternity care.
D The changes in pharmacologic management of labor were not a factor in family-

infant contact.
B Birth centers are set up to allow an increase in parent-infant contact.

4. As a result of changes in health care delivery and funding, a current trend seen in the pediatric
setting is:
a. Increased hospitalization of children
b. Decreased number of children living in poverty
c. An increase in ambulatory care
d. Decreased use of managed care
ANS: C
Feedback
A Hospitalization for children has decreased.
B Health care delivery has not altered the number of children living in poverty.
C One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has
shifted dramatically from the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting. One of
the biggest changes in health care has been the growth of managed care. The
number of hospital beds being used has decreased as more care is given in
outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children living in poverty has
increased over the last decade.
D Managed care has increased in order to control cost.

ANS: D
Feedback

B Children in the WIC program are often linked with immunizations, but that is
not the primary focus of the program.
C Public Law 99-457 provides financial incentives to states to establish
comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers with, or at risk
for, developmental disabilities.
D WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food supplies to low-
income women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and to their children until age
5 years.

Feedback
A Most states allow minors to obtain treatment for drug or alcohol abuse without

B Most states allow minors to obtain treatment for STDs without parental consent.
C In most states, minors are allowed access to birth control without parental

because of circumstances involving marriage, divorce, parenting of a child,
living independently without parents, or enlistment in the armed services).
