Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because the vaginal area is cleaner than the anus, cleaning and applying pads, ointments, etc., should always go from front to back. Otherwise, the woman may bring bacteria from the anus to the episiotomy or the vagina.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Localized pain in the calf or leg may indicate thrombophlebitis. The other options are not abnormal.
