Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Anaphylactic shock is caused by allergic responses to drugs administered. Cardiogenic shock may be caused by pulmonary embolism or hypertension. Hypovolemic shock could be caused by blood clotting disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient should be assessed further for other signs of infection because a white blood cell (WBC) count of 20,000 to 30,000 cells/dL is normal in the early postpartum period.
