Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. Women should be encouraged to limit the number of activities to prevent excessive fatigue, increase in lochia, and negative psychologic reactions, such as feeling overwhelmed. A regular exercise program including vigorous activities such as running, weight lifting, or competitive sports can usually be initiated after the 6-week postpartum examination or when approved by the client's physician/CNM.
