Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fee-for-service pays per procedure (A), encourages services (B), is traditional (D) 'fixed per patient' (C) isn't true, that's capitation, per model. C's fixed rate contradicts its basis, like Mr. Gary's billing, making it untrue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: IV solutions hang for a maximum of 24 hours to reduce infection risk, as per CDC and INS guidelines. Beyond this, bacterial growth in fluid increases, especially in nutrient-rich solutions. Nurses change bags daily, even if unfinished, ensuring sterility and patient safety. Shorter times (6-18 hours) may apply to specific drugs, but 24 hours is the standard limit for general infusions, balancing practicality and risk.
