Why B is correct
A.R.S. 20-1342(B) provides that hospital stays following a normal vaginal delivery may not be restricted to less than 48 hours. Any Arizona health policy or insurer practice limiting the mother's stay below that floor would conflict with the statute and be unenforceable.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Arizona law sets an express minimum stay, so no-minimum is incorrect.
- C) 96 hours is the minimum after a cesarean section, not a normal vaginal delivery.
- D) 31 days is the health grace period for infrequent premium modes under A.R.S. 20-1347, not a maternity stay.
