Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An increase in lochia or a return to bright red bleeding after the lochia has become pink indicates a complication. The fundus should stay firm. The lochia should decrease in amount. Large clots after discharge are a sign of complications and should be reported.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A rapid labor and birth may cause exhaustion of the uterine muscle and prevent contraction. Delivering a 5-lb, 2-oz infant with outlet forceps would put this client at risk for lacerations because of the forceps. A 7-lb infant after an 8-hour labor is a normal labor progression. Less than 3 hours is rapid and can produce uterine muscle exhaustion. An 8-lb infant after a 12-hour labor is a normal labor progression. Less than 3 hours is a rapid birth and can cause the uterine muscles not to contract.
