Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Endometritis is an acute infection of the uterine mucous lining immediately after de-livery and is still a leading cause of mortality for childbearing women in the United States. Ce-sarean delivery is the primary risk factor for uterine infection, especially after emergency proce-dures. Other risk factors include prolonged rupture of membranes, multiple vaginal examinations, and an excessive length of labor. The other options do not describe the client most at risk to develop endometritis following delivery.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Anemia is one of the most common problems in pregnancy, and iron deficiency ane-mia and folic acid deficiency anemia are two of the most common types. It is estimated that be-tween 20 and 60 of all women are anemic at some point during pregnancy (hemoglobin concentration lower than 10.5 to 11.0 g/dL). Complaints of daily headaches and fatigue are ab-normal findings and may reflect complications caused by decreased O2 supply to vital organs, thus supporting laboratory findings. The incorrect options are expected findings in the first tri-mester of pregnancy.
