Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation:
1. Hematuria might be present, but there will be no complaints of headache or vertigo.
2. While foul-smelling urine and hematuria can be present, there is no elevated BP, headache, or vertigo.
3. Clinical manifestations of UTI in a preschool-age child include fever, urgency, and dysuria.
4. There could be flank pain, although the preschooler might be unable to describe it. There will be no complaints of headache.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation:
1. Laboratory values are too vague, since the actual values are not identified.
2. Uterine size alone is not enough to assess the placental site.
3. Blood pressure varies slightly in the normal postpartum client and would not affect the placental site.
4. Type, amount, and consistency of lochia determine the stage of healing of the placental site, which occurs by a process of exfoliation.
