Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Repositioning the woman with her hips slightly elevated is the treatment for a
prolapsed cord. That position in this scenario would cause respiratory
difficulties.
B Observing for high uterine resting tones should have been done before the
sudden pain. High uterine resting tones put the woman at high risk for uterine
rupture.
C The woman is now at high risk for shock. Nonadditive intravenous fluids should
be increased.
D Pain between the scapulae may occur when the uterus ruptures, because blood
accumulates under the diaphragm. This is an emergency that requires medical
intervention.

Answer to Question 2

disseminated intravascular coagulation
The pathophysiology of DIC is complicated and not easily understood because both
extreme bleeding and clotting occur at the same time.
