  a. birth trauma.
  b. strong contractions.
  c. hypoxia.
  d. aspiration.

Question 2

When a patient asks why he must be transferred to a subacute unit from the hospital, the nurse replies that:
 
  a. reimbursement guidelines limit adults' stays in an acute setting.
  b. the physician can oversee care more closely in a subacute setting.
  c. financial restrictions of insurance limit time spent in an acute care setting.
  d. cost and services at the acute care setting are the same.

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.
