Which of the following is NOT one of ICEA's five goals?

• A. Increase hospital bed occupancy
• B. Provide quality education emphasizing compassion, collaboration, and choice.
• C. Set the standards for the diversified birth professional.
• D. Promote evidence-based options in maternal child health through collaboration and networking.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is ICEA focuses on education, professional standards, and collaboration to support evidence-based maternal-child health care. Their aims center on providing quality education that emphasizes compassion, collaboration, and choice; setting standards for diverse birth professionals; and promoting evidence-based options through collaboration and networking. Increasing hospital bed occupancy is not aligned with these objectives—it's an administrative metric about capacity and utilization, not about education, standards, or evidence-based practice. So that option isn’t one of ICEA’s five goals.
