Answer to Question 1

B, D
Feedback:
For the first 3 to 4 days after delivery, the breast milk is colostrum. The consistency changes to true breast milk by the 10th postpartum day. Colostrum is thin, yellow, and watery. Uterine cramping occurs as a result of oxytocin released during breastfeeding and is not a contraindication to breastfeeding but an expected occurrence. Most mothers do not have breast milk by the first day after giving birth.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Helpful measures to stimulate voiding include placing her hand in a basin of warm water, pouring warm water over her perineal area, hearing the sound of running water nearby, blowing bubbles through a straw, standing in the shower with the warm water turned on, and drinking fluids.
