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.
