Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
If the loss of blood is extremely copious, a woman will quickly begin to exhibit symptoms of hypovolemic shock such as a weak and rapid pulse. The skin will be pale and clammy, and the blood pressure will fall. Respiratory rate will be increased and shallow.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A fourth-degree perineal laceration involves the entire perineum, rectal sphincter, and some of the mucous membrane of the rectum. Any patient who has a fourth-degree laceration should not have an enema prescribed because the hard tips of equipment could open sutures near to or including those of the rectal sphincter.
