Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Abdominal pain may increase.
B The patient will have shock symptoms that include tachycardia.
C Concealed hemorrhage occurs when the edges of the placenta do not separate.

the blood into the uterine muscle results in a very firm, boardlike abdomen.
D The fundal height will increase as bleeding occurs.

D
Feedback
A Some regression to previous behaviors is normal during hospitalization, even
when the child has been practicing the skill for some time.
B Hospitalization is a stressful experience. If the incontinence is caused by anxiety,
scolding is not indicated and may increase the anxiety.
C Developmentally, the 3 1/2-year-old child cannot use a bedpan independently.
D Cooperation will increase and anxiety will decrease if the child's normal routine
and rituals are maintained.
