The perinatal nurse is aware that a key factor contributing to suboptimal outcomes for pregnant women and their families is which of the following?

A. Decreased knowledge regarding signs and symptoms of complications
B. Delayed communication between health-care provider call groups
C. Lack of family and other social support during pregnancy
D. Suboptimal nursing resources to provide care during labor and birth


ANS: B
Because perinatal care focuses on wellness, health promotion maintenance, and education for healthy women in multiple settings across the childbearing cycle, the danger of minimizing or misinterpreting pathological signs and symptoms is ever present. Delayed or absent communication between care provider call groups, combined with this wellness focus, can lead to suboptimal outcomes for women and their families.
