Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Not meeting the standards of care is a legitimate factor for a case of negligence. The client's race is not a factor for a case of negligence. The infant's gender is not a factor for a case of negligence. Although fetal monitoring is the standard of care, the client has the right to refuse treatment. This refusal is not a case for negligence; however, informed consent should be properly obtained, and the client should sign an against medical advice form for refusal of any treatment that is within the standard of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Health care is one of the fastest growing sectors of the U.S. economy. Currently, 17.4 of the gross domestic product is spent on health care. Higher spending in the United States compared with 12 other industrialized countries is related to higher prices and readily accessible technology along with greater obesity rates among women. More than one third of women in the United States are obese. Of the U.S. population, 16 is uninsured and has limited access to health care. Maternal morbidity and mortality are directly related to racial disparities.
