Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Involution refers to the changes that occur in a woman's body after birth to restore the organs to the pre-pregnant state. This includes the reduction in uterine size and weight.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
At delivery, the fundus is above the umbilicus. Each day, it descends approximately 1 cm until it returns to the normal position in the pelvis. On the first postpartum day, you would expect the fundus to be near or just below the umbilicus. If the bladder were distended, it would displace the uterus upward and away from the midline.
