Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Diagnosis-related groups, prospective form of payment, and acceptance of capacitation can all be used by hospital facilities with regard to delivery of care within agreed on reimbursement for health care services. DRGs represent fee-based service for diagnosis and treatment. Prospective form of payment may be used as an up-front method to accept fees for anticipated service. Acceptance of capacitation by hospitals in agreement with insurers offers negotiated fees for services. Allowing a postpartum client to go home within 12 hours of birth is not within the standard of care and, as such, may lead to potential problems in the postpartum period. Typical LOS postbirth is 24 to 48 hours.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Late preterm births (34 to 36 completed weeks of gestation) have more health complications and higher death rates than infants born at term because the babies are immature. Birth by induction of labor or cesarean has risen markedly in this group. Infants born at 34 to 36 weeks may not have mature lungs and may need assistance with ventilation after birth. Late preterm births (34 to 36 weeks of gestation) increased 20 from 1990 to 2006.
