A Parents do not want follow-up.

[Feedback :- Many patients do want follow-up; however, it is the high cost and time commitment required for these clinics that normally limits them being offered to those infants considered to be at highest risk of adverse outcome.]

B High cost of follow-up services.

This is the Correct Answer

[Feedback :- It is the high cost and time commitment required for these clinics that normally limits them being offered to those infants considered to be at highest risk of adverse outcome.]

C Assessment causes distress to the infant.

[Feedback :- While assessment can cause distress to some infants, attempts are normally made to minimize impact on the infant and family, and this should not be an important reason for not offering follow-up.]

D Most babies will be normal anyway.

[Feedback :- Although the majority of babies will be normal, it is the high cost and time commitment required for follow-up clinics that normally limits their availability.]

E Follow-up clinics are for research only.

[Feedback :- Ideally, we would like to know the long-term outcomes for all babies who have spent time in the neonatal intensive care, but it is the high cost and time commitment required for follow-up clinics that normally limits their availability.]
