D
Feedback
A The head is the largest part of a fetus.
B There is no relationship between breech presentation and postpartum
hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A A volume-control device such as a Buretrol or an infusion pump allows the nurse
to set a specific volume of fluid to be given in a specific period of time (usually 1
hour) and decreases the risk of inadvertently administering a large amount of
fluid.
B Although the use of a volume-control device allows for accurate measurement of
intake, the primary purpose for using this equipment is to prevent fluid overload.
C Medications such as antibiotics can be administered with a volume-control
device; however, this equipment is used primarily to minimize the risk of fluid
overload.
D The risk of fluid overload is the primary reason for using a volume-control
device.
