Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Although these are a possible cause of excessive blood loss, uterine muscle fail-ure (uterine atony) is the most common cause.
B Although this is a possible cause of excessive blood loss, uterine muscle failure (uterine atony) is the most common cause.
C Uterine atony can best be thwarted by maintaining good uterine tone and pre-venting bladder distention.
D Although this is a possible cause of excessive blood loss, uterine muscle failure (uterine atony) is the most common cause.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. This is a significant loss in a 24-hour period, so continuing to monitor the child would prolong treatment.
2. With diabetes insipidus, the child might have severe fluid volume deficit. A weight loss of 2 pounds indicates a loss of 1 L of fluid, so the physician should be notified and the fluids replaced either orally or intravenously.
3. This is a significant loss in a 24-hour period, so charting the weight and reporting to the next shift would prolong treatment.
4. This is a significant loss in a 24-hour period, so doing nothing would prolong treatment.
