  c. Lack of pain in the perineal area

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse should monitor for edema and discoloration. Using a cold application to the labia and perineum reduces pain by numbing the area and limiting bruising and edema for the first 12 hours. An episiotomy is performed as the fetal head distends the perineum. The pain with vaginal hematoma is severe and constant. The pain associated with vaginal hematoma is severe.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Catheterization provides room for the application of the forceps blades and limits bladder trauma. A clean-catch urinalysis is usually sufficient for preoperative treatment. Urine is sterile. The membranes must be ruptured and the cervix completely dilated for a forceps-assisted birth.
