Technologic developments were available to physicians, not lay midwives. So in-hospital L

births increased in order to take advantage of these advancements. Puerperal sepsis has been
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L L

a known problem for generations. In the late 19th century, Semmelweis discovered how it

ANS: C F T L



As research began to identify the benefits of early extended parent-infant contact, parents

began to insist that the infant remain with them. This gradually developed into the practice of

FT L FT L L
FT L
T
F L

by parents, not physicians. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 provided funds for

state-managed programs for mothers and children. The changes in pharmacologic L

One effect of managed care has been that pediatric health care delivery has shifted

cost-efficient care. The number of hospital beds being used has decreased as more care is
L

given in outpatient settings and in the home. The number of children living in poverty has
