Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Puerperal tachycardia might indicate a complication because pulse rates normally slow after birth; therefore, this is something for which the nurse assesses, and not something that is taught to the patient at discharge.
Rationale 2: Striae and chloasma are normal skin changes in the pregnant woman.
Rationale 3: Diastasis recti abdominis can be improved with abdominal tightening exercises, best taught when the mother is receptive to instruction during the postpartum assessment.
Rationale 4: HELLP syndrome is a medical condition based on abnormal lab values.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. There is a risk of preterm birth and rupture of membranes.
