Origin: Chapter 1, 1
The nurse providing family-centered care in a hospital setting reflects on the focus of the
1. health care provided in today‟s society. Which statement best
describes the current definition of health?
A) Health is described as „an absence of disease.‟
B) Health is measured by monitoring mortality and morbidity of a group.
C) Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
D) Technological gains made in health care are shared equally among
all children.
Ans:C
Feedback:
In the past, health was defined simply as the absence of disease; health was measured by
monitoring the mortality and morbidity of a group. Over the past century, however, the focus of
health has shifted to disease prevention, health promotion, and wellness. The World
Health Organization (2013) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The gains in
child health have been huge, but, unfortunately, these gains are not shared equally
among all children.

The student nurse is learning about the past history of child health and health care in the
2. United States. Which statement accurately reflects the condition of health care in
the past and current centuries?
A) In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was better than it is today due to the simpler style of living.
B) In the current century, mortality rates are high, but life expectancy has increased due to technological advances.
C) In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries urban public health improvements made cities healthier places for growing
children.
D) By the late twentieth century unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases had become the leading cause of death for
children older than 1 year old.
Ans:D
Feedback:
In past centuries in the United States, the health of the country was poorer than it is today;
mortality rates were high and life expectancy was short. Over the years the health of
children received more and more attention, leading to a better understanding of sources of
illness and improvements in sanitation, water, and nutrition. As a result, by the late
twentieth century unintentional injuries rather than infectious diseases had become
the leading cause of death for children older than 1 year old. Origin: Chapter 1, 3
The nurse is administering a number of therapeutic interventions for neonates, infants, and
3. children on the pediatric unit. Which intervention contributes to an increase
in chronic illness seen in early childhood?
A) Administering antibiotics to prevent lethal infections
B) Vaccinating children to prevent childhood diseases
C) Using mechanical ventilation for premature infants
D) Using corticosteroids as a treatment for asthma
Ans:C
Feedback:
Using mechanical ventilation and medications to foster lung development in premature
infants increases their survival rate. Yet the infants who survive are often faced with myriad
chronic illnesses. Administering antibiotics to prevent lethal infections, vaccinating children
to prevent childhood diseases, and using corticosteroids as a treatment for asthma may
cause side effects, but do not contribute to chronic illness in children.
4. The nurse is reviewing a copy of the U.S. Surgeon General‟s Report, Healthy People. Which nursing action best reflects
the nurse fostering this health care agenda?
A) The nurse signs up for classes to obtain an advanced degree in nursing
B) The nurse volunteers at a local health care clinic providing free vaccinations for low-income populations
C) The nurse performs an in-service on basic hospital equipment for student nurses
D) The nurse compiles nursing articles on evidence-based practices in nursing to present at a hospital
training seminar
Ans:B
Feedback:
Healthy People is a comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention agenda that is
working toward improving the quantity and quality of life for all Americans (U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Overarching goals are to eliminate
preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; achieve health equity, eliminate
disparities, and improve the health of all groups; create physical and social environments
that promote good health; and promote healthy development and behaviors across every
stage of life. Volunteering at a local health care clinic directly reflects the goal of
improving the health of all groups of people. Signing up for classes, performing in-services
on equipment, and compiling nursing articles on evidence-based practices in nursing are all
worthwhile activities that foster health care delivery, but are not as directly linked to the
agenda of promoting health in the community. Origin: Chapter 1, 5
5. The neonatal nurse researches the neonatal and mortality rates in the United States. Which statements accurately describe these
measurements of child health? Select all that apply.
A) Neonatalbirths. mortality is the number of infant deaths occurring in the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live
B) The infant mortality rate refers to the number of deaths occurring in the first 6 months of life.

The Usipetes and Tenctheri, two German tribes, whose home was
on the lower course of the Rhine, north and south of the
Lippe, being hard pressed by the Suevi, crossed the Rhine, B.
C. 55, and began to spread themselves along the Valley of the
Meuse. Cæsar marched against them with great promptitude,
refused to parley with them, accused them of treacherous
attempts to gain time, and was himself charged with wicked
treachery, in seizing their chiefs who met him with pacific
propositions. It is certain, at all events, that he was able
to attack them when they were deprived of leaders, and to
slaughter them with so little resistance that not one Roman
soldier was killed. Those who escaped the sword were driven
into the Rhine (probably at its point of junction with the
Moselle) and almost the entire mass of 180,000 are said to
have perished. The remnant took refuge with the Sicambri or
Sigambri, on the farther shore of the Rhine. Cæsar demanded
the surrender of them, and, when refused, he caused his
engineers to bridge the river in ten days, led his army across
it and laid waste the country of the Sigambri. This was the
first crossing of the Rhine by the Romans. The Suevi offered
battle to the Roman invaders, but Cæsar prudently returned,
and destroyed the bridge.

"Until the year 1849 the Mormons were entirely under the
control of their ecclesiastical leaders, regarding the
presidency not only as their spiritual head, but as the source
of law in temporal matters. … There was already in their midst
a small percentage of gentile citizens, gathered … from nearly
all the civilized nations of the earth. … Not infrequently
litigation arose among the gentiles, or between Mormon and
gentile; and though strict justice may have been done by the
bishops, it was difficult for the latter to believe that such
was the case. … Thus it became advisable to establish for the
benefit of all some judicial authority that could not be
questioned by any, whether members of the church or not, and
this authority must be one that, being recognized by the
government of the United States, would have the support of its
laws and the shield of its protection. Further than this, if
the Mormons neglected to establish such government, the
incoming gentiles would do so ere long. Early in 1849,
therefore, a convention was summoned of 'the inhabitants of
that portion of Upper California lying east of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains,' and on the 4th of March assembled at Salt
Lake City. A committee was appointed to draught a
constitution, under which the people might govern themselves
until congress should otherwise provide by law. A few days
later the constitution was adopted, and a provisional
government organized, under the name of the State of Deseret.
An immense tract of country was claimed, extending from
latitude 33° to the border of Oregon, and from the Rocky
Mountains to the Sierra Nevada, together with a section of the
territory now included in southern California, and the strip
of coast lying between Lower California and 118° 30' of west
longitude. The seat of government was to be at Salt Lake
City." In July Almon W. Babbitt was elected delegate to
Congress, and that body was petitioned to admit the
provisionally organized State into the Union. The delegate and
his petition met with a cool reception at Washington; but in
September, 1850, Congress passed an act organizing the
Territory of Utah, and Brigham Young was appointed Governor.
"The act to establish a territorial government for Utah placed
the southern boundary at the 37th parallel, the section
between that limit and the 33d parallel being included in the
Territory of New Mexico [organized at the same time], with the
exception of the part transferred to California, by which
State Utah was to be bounded on the west. On the north, Oregon
was to remain as the boundary, and on the east the Rocky
Mountains." "The word Utah originated with the people
inhabiting that region. Early in the 17th century, when New
Mexico was first much talked of by the Spaniards, the
principal nations of frequent mention as inhabiting the
several sides of the locality about that time occupied were
the Navajos, the Yutas, the Apaches, and the Comanches. Of the
Utah nation, which belongs to the Shoshone family, there were
many tribes. … The early orthography of the word Utah is
varied." "Yuta" "was a common spelling by the early
Spaniards, and might be called the proper one. Later we have
'Youta,' 'Eutaw,' 'Utaw,' and 'Utah.'"

"At the last ford of the Rhine a hamlet had in Roman times
been built, possibly a fort also. Nothing is preserved
regarding it but the name, which, in the mutations of
language, passed from Ultrajectum into Utrecht. Towards the
conclusion of the 7th century, Clement Willebrod, an English
priest, who had been educated at the monastery of Ripon,
coming as a missionary into those parts, succeeded, with the
aid of eleven of his fellow-countrymen, in winning over the
Frisian people to the Christian faith. He fixed his abode at
Utrecht, of which he was afterwards appointed bishop; and
gifts of land, at the time of little worth, were made to his
successors by Pepin and Charlemagne. Such was the commencement
of the temporal grandeur of the prince-bishops, whose dynasty
attained to a power little less than sovereign during the
middle ages. … With ready access to the sea, and not without
an early disposition towards these pursuits which their
kinsmen of the Rhineland towns were beginning to follow, the
inhabitants of Utrecht soon became good sailors and good
weavers, and their city throve apace. Enriched by successive
grants of privileges and lands, the bishops of Utrecht
gradually became powerful feudal lords."
