Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A A red, flat or raised malar butterfly rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose
is a clinical manifestation of SLE.
B A major manifestation of rheumatic fever is erythema marginatum, which
appears as red skin lesions spread peripherally over the trunk.
C An erythematous rash, induration of the hands and feet, and erythema of the
palms and soles are manifestations of Kawasaki disease.
D Initial symptoms of anaphylaxis include severe itching and rapid development of
erythema.

Answer to Question 2

T
Since estimating the amount of lochia is difficult, nurses frequently record flow by
estimating the amount of lochia in 1 hour using the following labels:
Scantless than a 1-inch stain on the peripad
Lighta 1- to 4-inch stain
Moderatea 4- to 6-inch stain
Heavysaturated peripad
Excessivesaturated peripad in 15 minutes
Determining the time interval that the peripad is in place is also important. Lochia is less
for women who have had a cesarean birth since some of the endometrial lining is removed
during surgery.
