Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: During the fourth stage of labor, the maternal blood pressure, pulse, and respiration should be checked every 15 minutes during the first hour. A rising pulse is an early sign of ex-cessive blood loss, because the heart pumps faster to compensate for reduced blood volume. The blood pressure will fall as the blood volume diminishes, but a decreased blood pressure would not be the earliest sign of hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: The liver contains a large number of macrophages called Kupffer's cells. These cells help filter blood by phagocytizing microorganisms and other foreign particles that pass through the liver. Tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow are incorrect.
