Answer to Question 1

hematoma
Hematomas occur as a result of bleeding into loose connective tissue while the overlying
tissue remains intact. A hematoma can develop after either a spontaneous or an
instrumental vaginal delivery when blood vessels are injured. They are most likely to occur
in the vulvar, vaginal, or retroperitoneal areas. The nurse should examine the vulva for a
bulging mass or skin discoloration and intervene as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Diarrhea results from fluid excess in the small intestine.
B Destroyed intestinal mucosal cells result in decreased intestinal surface area.
C Loss of electrolytes in the stool from diarrhea results in metabolic acidosis.
D Increased motility and rapid emptying of the intestines result in impaired
absorption of nutrients and water. Electrolytes are drawn from the extracellular
space into stool, and dehydration results.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
