The Complete Diagnosis Coding Book

Answer:

The birth of the child is described through various terms and phases. The standard terms used are neonate, perinatal, antenatal, infant and so on. These phases depend on the period starting from the implantation to birth and even during the development of the child.
The perinatal period runs from birth to 28 th day after birth. Therefore, option b. is correct.
Reason for the correct statement:
Perinatal is the term used for the time around the birth of the child. It begins from birth and continues till the 4th week of the birth (28 days).
Hence, option b. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as, "from the time of conception to birth."
Congenital abnormalities are the defects that can occur in the newborn like a failure of the closing of foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus and so on.
Option c. is given as, "From birth to 60 days after birth."
The type of birth does not infer significant clinical information as it does not attribute to the presence or absence of any complication.
Option d. is given as, "From birth to 24 months of age."
The maternal condition that affects neonates are diseases like HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C and so on.
Hence, options a. , c. , and d. are incorrect.
The phase when the fetus is born, to about 1 to 4 weeks after the birth, is referred to as the perinatal period.

Answer:

Premature babies are the ones who are born before their estimated date. Such babies can have poor development process due to the incomplete gestation time. The associated conditions are improper lung development, poor feeding, and slower weight gain.
The babies, who are born before 37 weeks of gestation, are termed as premature babies. Therefore, option c. is correct.
Reason for the correct statement:
The babies, who are born before 37 weeks of gestation, have poor development due to the incomplete gestation period. This can be seen through a poor weight gain and thus, these babies are called premature and require special care after birth.
Hence, the option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as, "40 weeks of gestation."
The babies who are born after 37 weeks of gestation are not premature babies.
Option b. is given as, "30 weeks of gestation."
The babies are considered premature when they are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Therefore, the criterion for premature babies is taking birth before 37 weeks, not 30 weeks.
Option d. is given as, "28 weeks of gestation."
The babies are considered premature when they are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Therefore, the criteria for premature babies is before 37 weeks, not 28 weeks.
Hence, options a. , b. , and d. are incorrect.
The gestation period for human babies is 40 weeks, and the babies who are born before 37 weeks of gestation are termed as premature babies.
