Answer to Question 1

A, E
Feedback:
Manifestations of metritis include lower abdominal tenderness or pain on one or both sides, elevated temperature, foul-smelling lochia, anorexia, nausea, fatigue and lethargy, leukocytosis and elevated sedimentation rate. Urgency and flank pain would suggest a urinary tract infection. Breast tenderness may be related to engorgement or suggest mastitis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
If infants are fatigued or overstimulated, they also may not eat well. Providing a quiet environment away from distractions before mealtime might be the solution to this problem. Healthy happy babies will be hungry at mealtime and will eat. The mother should not force the baby to take a bottle when it is time to do so. Refusing a bottle may mean that the baby is tired, distracted, or ill. The baby does not always need to be seen by a health care provider when a bottle is refused.
