Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
By the end of 10 days, the fundus usually cannot be palpated because it has descended into the true pelvis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Looking directly at the newborn's face, with direct eye contact or the en face position, is a sign a woman is beginning effective attachment. Naming the child after a well-loved friend, taking a photo of the child, or commenting on the child's hair are not indications that the postpartum patient is accepting the birth of the child well.
