Nurses need to know the basic definitions and incidence data concerning postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). For instance:
 
  1. PPH is easy to recognize early; after all, the woman is bleeding.
  2. traditionally, it takes more than 1000 ml of blood after vaginal birth and 2500 af-ter cesarean to define the condition as PPH.
  3. if anything, nurses and doctors tend to overestimate the amount of blood loss.
  4. traditionally, PPH has been classified as early or late with respect to birth; 24 hours is the dividing line.

Question 2

When helping a woman reduce the severity of nausea caused by morning sickness, a nurse might suggest that she:
 
  1. try tart foods or drinks like lemonade or salty foods like potato chips.
  2. drink plenty of fluids early in the day.
  3. brush her teeth immediately after eating.
  4. never snack before bedtime.

Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Unfortunately, PPH can occur with little warning and is often recognized only after the mother has profound symptoms.
2. Incorrect. Traditionally, 500 ml loss after vaginal and 1000 ml after cesarean constitute PPH.
3. Incorrect. Medical personnel tend to underestimate blood loss by as much as 50 from their subjective observations.
4. Correct. Early is also known as primary or acute, whereas late is secondary.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. Interestingly, some women can tolerate tart or salty foods during nausea.
2. Incorrect. Avoid drinking too much when nausea is most likely, but be sure to make up the fluid levels later in the day when feeling better.
3. Incorrect. Avoid brushing teeth immediately after eating.
4. Incorrect. A small snack of cereal and milk or yogurt before bedtime may help your sto-mach in the morning.
