Answer to Question 1

B
Rapid labor is an indication of the risk of uterine atony. A teenager delivering her first baby, gestational diabetes, and gravida 3 para 3 are not at specific risk for developing postpartum uterine atony.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The child with DIC should be placed on bedrest.
2. Impairment of skin integrity can lead to bleeding in DIC.
3. Fluids need to be monitored, but will not be restricted.
4. DIC is not diagnosed with x-ray examination but by serum lab studies.
