Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Women who have had cesarean births tend to have less flow because the uterine debris is removed manually along with delivery of the placenta.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The accuracy of tympanic temperature reading is dependent upon appropriate technique. The nurse needs to be sure to direct the infrared sensor at the tympanic membrane. Since the child is over the age of 3, the earlobe does not need to be pulled back and down. The nurse would not remove earwax from inside the ear canal.
