Maternity nurses can work to dispel the health disparities among women through:
 
  a. Increased education for mothers.
  b. Late prenatal care.
  c. Increased number of cesarean sections.
  d. Making all women take more vitamins.

Question 2

During a prenatal examination, a client asks, How does my baby get air? The nurse would give correct information by saying:
 
  1. The lungs of the fetus carry out respiratory gas exchange in utero.
  2. The placenta assumes the function of the fetal lungs by supplying oxygen and allowing the excretion of carbon dioxide into your bloodstream.
  3. The blood from the placenta is carried through the umbilical artery, which penetrates the abdominal wall of the fetus.
  4. The fetus is able to obtain sufficient oxygen because your hemoglobin concentration is 50 greater during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Educating mothers enables them to recognize problems they should report to their health care provider and teaches them ways to take better care of them-selves.
B Late prenatal care is one factor that contributes to health disparities.
C Cesarean sections are performed for various reasons, although they may be the result of health concerns related to the mother.
D Taking vitamins may improve overall health, but it does not necessarily ensure health or dispel health disparities.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The lungs of the fetus carry out respiratory gas exchange in utero is incorrect. Most of the blood supply bypasses the fetal lungs, which do not carry out respiratory gas exchange.
2. The placenta assumes the function of the fetal lungs by supplying oxygen and allowing the excretion of carbon dioxide into your bloodstream is the correct information.
3. The blood from the placenta is carried through the umbilical artery, which penetrates the abdominal wall of the fetus is incorrect because blood is carried through the umbilical vein.
4. The fetus is able to obtain sufficient oxygen because your hemoglobin concentration is 50 greater during pregnancy, benefiting the mother in the event of future blood loss in birth.
