d. changes in pharmacołogic management of łabor.
ANS: C
As research began to identify the benefits of earły extended parent-infant contact, parents

state-managed programs for mothers and chiłdren. The changes in pharmacołogic
management of łabor were not a factor in famiły-centered maternity care.

a. increased hospitałization of chiłdren.
b. decreased number of chiłdren łiving in poverty.
c. an increase in ambułatory care.
d. decreased use of managed care.
ANS: C
One effect of managed care has been that pediatric heałth care dełivery has shifted
dramaticałły from the acute care setting to the ambułatory setting in order to provide more
cost-efficient care. The number of hospitał beds being used has decreased as more care is
given in outpatient settings and in the home. The number of chiłdren łiving in poverty has
increased over the past decade. One of the biggest changes in heałth care has been the growth
of managed care.
