Answer to Question 1

1; 2; 4; 5
Rationale:
1. Redness, warmth, edema, purulent drainage, and later gaping of a wound that was previously well approximated are classic signs of a perineal wound infection.
2. Redness, warmth, edema, purulent drainage, and later gaping of a wound that was previously well approximated are classic signs of a perineal wound infection.
3. Vaginal bleeding is nonspecific to identifying a perineal wound infection.
4. Redness, warmth, edema, purulent drainage, and later gaping of a wound that was previously well approximated are classic signs of a perineal wound infection.
5. Redness, warmth, edema, purulent drainage, and later gaping of a wound that was previously well approximated are classic signs of a perineal wound infection.
