Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Parametritis, or pelvic cellulitis, is an ascending complication of endometritis, and involves more extensive infection of tissue than does this condition.
Rationale 2: Gonorrhea is not a common cause of endometritis, and especially not of early-onset endometritis.
Rationale 3: A postpartum infection of the uterus is endometritis, and when it develops within 36 hours after delivery, it is most commonly caused by group B streptococcus.
Rationale 4: Walking would prevent deep vein thrombophlebitis, not endometritis.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. During transition, contractions have a frequency of 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, a duration of 60 to 90 seconds, and are strong in intensity. When the woman enters the transition phase, she may demonstrate significant anxiety.
