Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Autolysis is caused by a decrease in hormone levels.
B Subinvolution is failure of the uterus to return to a nonpregnant state.
C Afterpain is caused by uterine cramps 2 to 3 days after birth.
D Diastasis refers to the separation of muscles.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The prone position should be avoided.
2. A Yankauer suction device is made of hard plastic, and could cause trauma to the suture line. Suctioning should be done with a small soft suction catheter.
3. Integrity of the suture line is essential for postop care of cleft lip repair. The infant should be placed in a supine or side-lying position to avoid rubbing the suture line on the bedding.
4. Soft elbow restraints may be used to prevent the infant from touching the incisional area.
