Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A late postpartum hemorrhage occurs after the first 24 hours and up to 12 weeks after birth. The first postpartum day, during the recovery phase, and during the third stage are all within the first 24 hours after birth and would be classified as early postpartum hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Pulmonary edema is a potential adverse effect of carboprost tromethamine (Hemabate). Auscultation of breath sounds will identify pulmonary edema; temperature, lochial flow and fundal height are not affected by this medication.
