Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:

   Many forces, hospital managers, medical practitioners, parents too,
continue to increase pressure to do more outpatient surgery for children.

The emphasis on faster operating room turnaround time, more effective
5  use of space and personnel and the presumed resulting cost reduction
are commonly sought goals. These goals are important for all patients,
but especially for the pediatric patient, who being much younger
is free from systemic disease and requires simpler, shorter surgical
procedures, and a shorter convalescence.
10
Despite many advantages pediatric outpatient surgery can have problems.
Since children are usually healthy and usually recover from surgery,
some doctors may assume that all such patients are outpatient candidates.
There may be delays and inappropriate scheduling caused by rush,
15 by inappropriate consultation and previously undiagnosed diseases.

However, nearly all problems can be solved by proper patient selection.
Many more patients than at present can undergo outpatient anesthesia,
reducing the separation time of the child from the family. The advantages
20 listed above will be enhanced when combined with appropriate postoperative
discharge criteria and out-of-hospital care. Everyone will benefit:
the child, the family, the physician, the hospital staff and even
the third party payer.
