Answer to Question 1

A
Decreased hospital stays have been a major source of cost reduction in the past 10 years. Reduction in intervention is the basis for support of the natural process of birth. The use of midwives for underserved populations is a decision made by women at all socioeconomic levels. Referring high-risk women to specialists is not a major contributing factor in promoting cost containment.

Answer to Question 2

C
National agencies involved in women's health collect and analyze data and then form standards of care based on the research findings. Local trends in health care and international standards outlined by WHO may impact the implementation of standards of care. Local hospital OB/GYN departments implement standards of care.
