Answer to Question 1

C
The AHA defines an acute care hospital as a facility in which the average length of stay is less than 30 days. Because of the focus on women's health services, it would also be considered spe-cialized.

Answer to Question 2

D
Benefits of using a matrix structure in the hospital setting include expected gains in efficiency from specialization. The disadvantage is that managers focus on taking care of their particular function area without adequate consideration of the impact of their combined actions on the overall organization.
