Final answer:

Placenta previa, preeclampsia, and shoulder dystocia are complications of labor and delivery in ICD-10-CM, while otitis media is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ICD-10-CM, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification, placenta previa, preeclampsia, and shoulder dystocia are all considered complications of labor and delivery. Placenta previa is when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, preeclampsia is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage in pregnant women, and shoulder dystocia is a birth complication where the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind the mother's pubic bone.

Otitis media, however, is not considered a complication of labor and delivery. Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear and is unrelated to the process of childbirth.
