Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When the nurse teaches the postpartum woman about normal changes in lochia, it is important to explain that a return to red bleeding after it has changed to pink or white may indicate a late postpartum hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Moist heat promotes blood flow to the area, comfort, and complete emptying of the breast.
