MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. When providing care for a pregnant woman, the nurse should be aware that one of the most frequently

reported maternal medical risk factors is:

a. Diabetes mellitus. c. Chronic hypertension.

b. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP). d. Anemia.

ANS: A

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

The most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors are diabetes and hypertension associated with

pregnancy. Both of these conditions are associated with maternal obesity. There are no studies that indicate

MVP is among the most frequently reported maternal risk factors. Hypertension associated with pregnancy, not chronic hypertension, is one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors. Although

anemia is a concern in pregnancy, it is not one of the most frequently reported maternal medical risk factors in

pregnancy.

2. To ensure optimal outcomes for the patient, the contemporary maternity nurse must incorporate both

teamwork and communication with clinicians into her care delivery, The SBAR technique of communication is

an easy-to-remember mechanism for communication. Which of the following correctly defines this acronym?

a. Situation, baseline assessment, response

b. Situation, background, assessment, recommendation

c. Subjective background, assessment, recommendation

d. Situation, background, anticipated recommendation

ANS: B

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

The situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) technique provides a specific framework for

communication among health care providers. Failure to communicate is one of the major reasons for errors in

health care. The SBAR technique has the potential to serve as a means to reduce errors.

3. The role of the professional nurse caring for childbearing families has evolved to emphasize:

a. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside.

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) 3

b. Primarily hospital care of maternity patients.

c. Practice using an evidence-based approach.

d. Planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays.

ANS: C

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

Professional nurses are part of the team of health care providers who collaboratively care for patients

throughout the childbearing cycle. Providing care to patients directly at the bedside is one of the nurses tasks;

however, it does not encompass the concept of the evolved professional nurse. Throughout the prenatal period, nurses care for women in clinics and physicians offices and teach classes to help families prepare for

childbirth. Nurses also care for childbearing families in birthing centers and in the home. Nurses have been

critically important in developing strategies to improve the well-being of women and their infants and have led

the efforts to implement clinical practice guidelines using an evidence-based approach. Maternity patients have

experienced a decreased, rather than an increased, length of stay over the past 2 decades.

4. A 23-year-old African-American woman is pregnant with her first child. Based on the statistics for infant

mortality, which plan is most important for the nurse to implement?

a. Perform a nutrition assessment.

b. Refer the woman to a social worker.

c. Advise the woman to see an obstetrician, not a midwife.

d. Explain to the woman the importance of keeping her prenatal care appointments.

ANS: D

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

Consistent prenatal care is the best method of preventing or controlling risk factors associated with infant

mortality. Nutritional status is an important modifiable risk factor, but a nutrition assessment is not the most

important action a nurse should take in this situation. The patient may need assistance from a social worker at

some time during her pregnancy, but a referral to a social worker is not the most important aspect the nurse

should address at this time. If the woman has identifiable high-risk problems, her health care may need to be

provided by a physician. However, it cannot be assumed that all African-American women have high-risk

issues. In addition, advising the woman to see an obstetrician is not the most important aspect on which the

nurse should focus at this time, and it is not appropriate for a nurse to advise or manage the type of care a

patient is to receive.

5. During a prenatal intake interview, the nurse is in the process of obtaining an initial assessment of a 21-year- old Hispanic patient with limited English proficiency. It is important for the nurse to:

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) 4

a. Use maternity jargon in order for the patient to become familiar with these terms.

b. Speak quickly and efficiently to expedite the visit.

c. Provide the patient with handouts.

d. Assess whether the patient understands the discussion.

ANS: D

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

Nurses contribute to health literacy by using simple, common words; avoiding jargon; and evaluating whether

the patient understands the discussion. Speaking slowly and clearly and focusing on what is important increase

understanding. Most patient education materials are written at too high a level for the average adult and may

not be useful for a client with limited English proficiency.

6. When managing health care for pregnant women at a prenatal clinic, the nurse should recognize that the

most significant barrier to access to care is the pregnant womans:

a. Age. c. Educational level.

b. Minority status. d. Inability to pay.

ANS: D

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

The most significant barrier to health care access is the inability to pay for services; this is compounded by the

fact that many physicians refuse to care for women who cannot pay. Although adolescent pregnant clients

statistically receive less prenatal care, age is not the most significant barrier. Significant disparities in

morbidity and mortality rates exist for minority women; however, minority status is not the most significant

barrier to access of care. Disparities in educational level are associated with morbidity and mortality rates;

however, educational level is not the most significant barrier to access of care.

7. What is the primary role of practicing nurses in the research process?

a. Designing research studies

b. Collecting data for other researchers

c. Identifying researchable problems

d. Seeking funding to support research studies

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) 5

ANS: C

Test Bank - Maternal Child Nursing Care by Perry (6th Edition, 2017) | Qwivy.com

When problems are identified, research can be conducted properly. Research of health care issues leads to

evidence-based practice guidelines. Designing research studies is only one factor of the research process. Data

collection is one factor of research. Financial support is necessary to conduct research, but it is not the primary

role of the nurse in the research process.

8. When the nurse is unsure about how to perform a patient care procedure, the best action would be to:

a. Ask another nurse.

b. Discuss the procedure with the patients physician.

c. Look up the procedure in a nursing textbook.

d. Consult the agency procedure manual and follow the guidelines for the procedure.

ANS: D

It is always best to follow the agencys policies and procedures manual when seeking information on correct

patient procedures. These policies should reflect the current standards of care and state guidelines. Each nurse

is responsible for her own practice. Relying on another nurse may not always be safe practice. Each nurse is

obligated to follow the standards of care for safe client care delivery. Physicians are responsible for their own

client care activity. Nurses may follow safe orders from physicians, but they are also responsible for the

activities that they as nurses are to carry out. Information provided in a nursing textbook is basic information

for general knowledge. Furthermore, the information in a textbook may not reflect the current standard of care

or individual state or hospital policies.

9. From the nurses perspective, what measure should be the focus of the health care system to reduce the rate

of infant mortality further?

a. Implementing programs to ensure womens early participation in ongoing prenatal care

b. Increasing the length of stay in a hospital after vaginal birth from 2 to 3 days

c. Expanding the number of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs)

d. Mandating that all pregnant women receive care from an obstetrician

ANS: A
