Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Kegel exercises help to improve pelvic floor tone, strengthen perineal muscles, and promote healing, ultimately helping to prevent urinary incontinence later in life. Kegel exercises have no effect on lochia, involution, or pain.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
The external cervical os is no longer shaped like a circle but instead appears as a jagged slit-like opening, often described as a fish mouth.
