Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The fundus descends 1 cm/day, so by postpartum day 14 it is no longer palpable. The lochia should be changed by this day to serosa. Breasts are not part of the involution process. The episiotomy should not be red or puffy at this stage.

Answer to Question 2

29. ANS: C
30. ANS: E
31. ANS: A
32. ANS: B
33. ANS: D
