Maternal Child Nursing Care 5th Edition by Shannon E. Perry, Marilyn J. Hockenberry, Deitra Leonard Lowdermilk, and David Wilson


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
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
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.
