MULTIPLE CHOICE j
1. In evaluating the level of a pregnant woman’s risk of having a low-birth-weight (LBW)
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
infant, which factor is the most important for the nurse to consider?
j j j j j j j j j j j j
a. African-American race j
b. Cigarette smoking j
c. Poor nutritional status j j
d. Limited maternal education j j
ANS: A j
The rise in the overall LBW rates were due to increases in LBW births to non-Hispanic black
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
women (13.35%) and Hispanic women (7.21%); non-Hispanic black infants are almost twice
j j j j j j j j j j j j
as likely as non-Hispanic white infants to be of LBW and to die in the first year of life.. Race is
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
a nonmodifiable risk factor. Cigarette smoking is an important factor in potential infant
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
mortality rates, but it is not the most important. Additionally, smoking is a modifiable risk
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
factor. Poor nutrition is an important factor in potential infant mortality rates, but it is not the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
most important. Additionally, nutritional status is a modifiable risk factor. Maternal
j j j j j j j j j j j
education is an important factor in potential infant mortality rates, but it is not the most
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
important. Additionally, maternal education is a modifiable risk factor.

2. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on current
j j j j j j j j j j j j
statistics for infant mortality, which intervention is most important for the nurse to include in
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the client’s plan of care?
j j j j j
a. Perform anutrition assessment. j j j
b. Refer the woman to a social worker. j j j j j j
c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. j j j j j j j j j
d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments. j j j j j j j j j j j
ANS: D j
Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
with infant mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but it is not the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
most important action a nurse should take in this situation. The client may need assistance
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
from a social worker at some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the most important aspect the nurse should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
high-risk problems, then her health care may need to be provided by a physician. However, it
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high-risk issues. In addition,
j j j j j j j j j j j j
advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the nurse
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
care a client is to receive.

3. The nurses working at a newly established birthing center have begun to compare their
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
performance in providing maternal-newborn care against clinical standards. This
j j j j j j j j j
comparison process is most commonly known as what?
j j j j j j j j
a. Bestpractices network j j
b. Clinical benchmarking j
c. Outcomes-oriented pracNtiUceR S j
d. Evidence-based practice j
ANS: C j
Outcomes-oriented practice measures the effectiveness of the interventions and quality of j j j j j j j j j j
care against benchmarks or standards. The term best practice refers to a program or service that
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
has been recognized for its excellence. Clinical benchmarking is a process used to compare
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
one’s own performance against the performance of the best in an area of service. The term
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
evidence-based practice refers to the provision of care based on evidence gained through
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
research and clinical trials.

4. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
assessment of a 21-year-old Hispanic client with limited English proficiency. Which
j j j j j j j j j j j
intervention is the most important for the nurse to implement?
j j j j j j j j j j
a. Usematernityjargon to enable the client to become familiar with these terms.
j j j j j j j j j j j j
b. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.
j j j j j j j
c. Providethe client with handouts. j j j j
d. Assess whether the client understands the discussion.
j j j j j j
ANS: D j
Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words, avoiding jargon, and
j j j j j j j j j j j j
evaluating whether the client understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and
j j j j j j j j j j j j
focusing on what is important will increase understanding. Most client education materials
j j j j j j j j j j j j
are written at a level too high for the average adult and may not be useful for a client with
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
limited English proficiency.

5. Which statement best exemplifies contemporarymaternity nursing?
j j j j j j
a. Useof midwives for all vaginal deliveries

b. Family-centered care j
c. Free-standing birth clinics j j
d. Physician-drivencare j
jANS: B j

Contemporary maternity nursing focuses on the family’s needs and desires. Fathers, partners, j j j j j j j j j j j
grandparents, and siblings may be present for the birth and participate in activities such as
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
cutting the baby’s umbilical cord. Both midwives and physicians perform vaginal deliveries.
j j j j j j j j j j j j
Free-standing clinics are an example of alternative birth options. Contemporary maternity
j j j j j j j j j j j
nursing is driven by the relationship between nurses and their clients.

6. A 38-year-old Hispanic woman vaginallydelivered a 9-pound, 6-ounce baby girl after being in
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
labor for 43 hours. The baby died 3 days later from sepsis. On what grounds could the woman
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
have a legitimate legal case for negligence?
j j j j j j j
a. Inexperienced maternity nursewas assigned to care for the client. j j j j j j j j j
b. Client was past her due date by 3 days. j j j j j j j j
c. Standard of care was not met. j j j j j
d. Clientrefused electronic fetal monitoring. j j j j
ANS: C j
Not meeting the standard of care is a legitimate factor for a case of negligence. An
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
inexperienced maternity nurse would need to display competency before being assigned to care
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
for clients on his or her own. This client may have been past her due date; however, a term
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
pregnancy often goes beyond 40 weeks of gestation. Although fetal monitoring is the standard
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
of care, the client has the right to refuse treatment. This refusal is not a case for negligence, but
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
informed consent should be properly obtained, and the client should have signed an against
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
medical advice form when refusing any treatment that is within the standard of care.

7. When the nurse is unsure how to perform a client care procedure that is high risk and low
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
volume, his or her best action in this situation would be what?
j j j j j j j j j j j j
a. Ask another nurse. j j
b. Discuss the procedure with the client’s physician. j j j j j j
c. Look up the procedure in a nursing textbook. j j j j j j j
d. First consult the agency procedure manual j j j j j
ANS: D j
Following the agency’s policies and procedures manual is always best when seeking
j j j j j j j j j j j
information on correct client procedures. These policies should reflect the current
j j j j j j j j j j j
standardsof care and the individual state’s guidelines. Each nurse is responsible for his or her
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
own practice. Relying on another nurse may not always be a safe practice. Each nurse is
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
obligated to follow the standards of care for safe client care delivery. Physicians are
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
responsible for their own client care activity. Nurses may follow safe orders from physicians,
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
but they are also responsible for the activities that they, as nurses, are to carry out.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Information provided in a nursing textbook is basic information for general knowledge.
j j j j j j j j j j j j
Furthermore, the information in a textbook may not reflect the current standard of care or the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
individual state or hospital policies.
