Answer to Question 1

1,4
Rationale 1: null
Rationale 2: Essure is a method of permanent sterilization.
Rationale 3: A laparoscopic tubal ligation is a method of sterilization, not emergency contraception.
Rationale 4: null
Rationale 5: Taking a high dose of male hormones is not a method of emergency contraception.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Lochia should gradually diminish in amount and change to a lighter brownish or pinkish color. A week after delivery, the flow is noticeably lighter compared with the lochia on the second postpartum day.
Rationale 2: Too much activity often leads to an increase in the amount of lochia.
Rationale 3: By the second postpartum day, the lochia should no longer be bright red.
Rationale 4: By day three, the amount of lochia shed is very small and requires only a pantiliner for protection.
