Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
These are classic signs and symptoms of hematoma. A hematoma is a collection of blood within the tissues that may result from injury to blood vessels in the perineum or vagina. Perineal pain, rather than noticeable bleeding, is a distinguishing characteristic of a hematoma, and the uterus remains firm. Pressure on the urethra may cause difficulty voiding, and pressure on the rectum may feel like the need to have a bowel movement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An embolus is a clot that is moving through the circulatory system with the blood flow. An embolus may be delivered to the lungs, where it obstructs circulation and can cause sudden death.
