Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The postpartum woman primarily loses excess fluid by diaphoresis (excessive perspiration) and diuresis (excessive urinary output). The high output of dilute urine and wet gown are related to diuresis and diaphoresis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
As lochia changes from red to brown to yellow or white, it is called, respectively, lochia rubra, lochia serosa, and lochia alba.
