Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E, F
Because the woman is in an advanced stage of labor, the priority questions would include whether there is a language barrier; does she avoid eye contact; how much rest has she had lately; is the woman able to ask for what she needs; and does she talk freely with the nurse and her partner? Knowing whether her partner is employed full time is not a priority at this time.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Involution marks the end of the puerperium, or the fourth trimester of pregnan-cy.
B Lochia refers to the various vaginal discharges during the puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy.
C The final period of pregnancy lasts 3 to 6 weeks, but it is called the puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy.
D The puerperium, also called the fourth trimester or the postpartum period of pregnancy, lasts about 3 to 6 weeks.
