Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A This is a myth. Neonates do express a total-body response to pain with a cry that
is intense, high pitched, and harsh sounding.
B The manner and intensity of how a child expresses pain is dependent on the
individual child's experiences.

eating disruptions after painful experiences.

B If a portion of the placenta is missing, the clinician can explore the uterus, locate
the missing fragments, and remove the potential cause of late postpartum

C Manual removal of the placenta increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
