Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The lochia should be changed by this day to serosa.
B Breasts are not part of the involution process.
C The fundus descends 1 cm/day, so by postpartum day 14 it is no longer palpable.
D The episiotomy should not be red or puffy at this stage.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Infants do not receive maternal immunity to pertussis and are susceptible to
pertussis. Pertussis is highly contagious and is associated with a high infant
mortality rate.
B Primary prevention of pertussis can be accomplished through administration of
the pertussis vaccine.
C Prompt evaluation by the primary care provider for respiratory illness will not
prevent pertussis.
D Erythromycin is used to treat pertussis. It will not prevent the disease.
