Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Breast milk contains 20 calories per fluid ounce, which is the same number of calories in commercially prepared infant formula. Breast milk does not contain 12, 24, or 30 calories per fluid ounce.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The amount of lochia is described as light or small for an approximately 4-inch stain. Scant refers to a 1- to 2-inch stain of lochia; moderate refers to a 4- to 6-inch stain; and large or heavy refers to a pad that is saturated within 1 hour after changing.
