Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A This is a myth. Neonates do express a total-body response to pain with a cry that
is intense, high pitched, and harsh sounding.
B The manner and intensity of how a child expresses pain is dependent on the
individual child's experiences.
C This is a myth. Children of all ages have been reported to have sleeping and
eating disruptions after painful experiences.
D Not all children will cry to express pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Broad-spectrum antibiotics will be given if postpartum infection is suspected.
B If a portion of the placenta is missing, the clinician can explore the uterus, locate
the missing fragments, and remove the potential cause of late postpartum
hemorrhage.
C Manual removal of the placenta increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
D The placenta is usually delivered 5 to 30 minutes after birth of the baby without
pulling on the cord. That can cause uterine inversion.
