Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation:
1. Women with intrauterine fetal demise can demonstrate signs of an infection; however, this temperature is not high enough to indicate this problem.
2. Intrauterine fetal demise can cause disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC); the normal fibrinogen level is 200 to 400 mg/dL. This is a very low fibrinogen level and indicates that the client is in DIC.
3. Intrauterine fetal demise can lead to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), but this is a normal platelet count.
4. Some religious traditions prohibit autopsy. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) is a higher priority.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation:
1. A periurethral laceration is near the urethra.
2. A first-degree laceration involves only the skin. A second-degree laceration involves skin and muscle.
3. A fourth-degree laceration is through the rectal mucosa.
4. A third-degree laceration includes the rectal sphincter.
