Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
With a separated symphysis pubis, bed rest and the application of a snug pelvic binder to immobilize the joint may be necessary to relieve pain and allow healing. A 4- to 6-week period is necessary for healing to be complete. During this time, the patient should avoid heavy lifting and may need to arrange for a person to help with child care at home. The patient should not be lifting the baby. The patient needs at least 4 to 6 weeks to heal before returning to work. Urine output is not a measurement for a separated symphysis pubis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A patient can continue to breastfeed while receiving heparin. The baby is not going to need weekly blood work. Infant gastric juices do not impact the effect of anticoagulants. Medications due affect breast milk; however, breastfeeding can continue while receiving heparin.
