If the nurse suspects a uterine infection in the postpartum patient, she should assess the
 
  a. Pulse and blood pressure
  b. Odor of the lochia
  c. Episiotomy site
  d. Abdomen for distention

Question 2

The nurse is preparing a 4-year-old with a fractured humerus for an MRI.
 
  While the nurse is explaining the procedure to the child's parents, she understands that procedural sedation is a medically controlled state of depressed consciousness that will allow the child to be able to respond appropriately and to maintain her airway control. Is this statement true or false? Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A The pulse may be altered with an infection, but the odor of the lochia will be an
earlier sign and more specific.
B An abnormal odor of the lochia indicates infection in the uterus.
C The infection may move to the episiotomy site if proper hygiene is not followed.
D The abdomen becomes distended usually because of a decrease of peristalsis,
such as after cesarean section.

Answer to Question 2

T
There is a continuum of sedation levels; minimum, moderate (conscious sedation), and
deep. The child will remain alert and only experience mild anxiety or may become deeply
sedated.
