Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A TED hose and SCD boots are recommended. Just sitting in a chair will not help.
B Bed exercises such as these are useful. Just sitting in a chair will not help.
C Sitting immobile in a chair will not help. Bed exercise and prophylactic footwear might.
D A positive Homans' sign (calf muscle pain or warmth, redness, or tenderness) requires the physician's immediate attention.

Answer to Question 2

B
Uterine rupture involves a separation of the uterine wall that may allow protrusion of fetal parts into the maternal abdomen. A longitudinal rupture, sometimes referred to as a classic rupture, occurs over the body of the uterus and is an acute emergent situation.
