Answer to Question 1

C
Fetal distress resulting from hypoxia is indicated by a nonreassuring FHR.

Answer to Question 2

A
In the acute care setting, strict rules about length of stay and limitations in cost reimbursement limit the amount of time adults can be hospitalized. These strict reimbursement rules for acute care do not, however, apply to subacute care provided in a skilled nursing facility setting.
