Answer to Question 2

A, C, E

Feedback
Correct The woman should be advised to consume a diet high in iron and protein. For many women, iron supplementation also is necessary. Acknowledge that the patient has experienced a loss, albeit early. She can be taught to expect mood swings and possibly depression. Referral to a support group, clergy, or professional counseling may be necessary. Discharge teaching should emphasize the need for rest.
Incorrect Nothing should be placed in the vagina for 2 weeks after the procedure. This includes tampons and vaginal intercourse. The purpose of this recommendation is to prevent infection. Should infection occur, antibiotics may be prescribed. The patient should expect a scant, dark discharge for 1 to 2 weeks. If heavy, profuse, or bright bleeding occurs, she should be instructed to contact her provider.
