Answer to Question 1

C
Because infant growth patterns are individual, first the nurse should evaluate an infant's growth pattern.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Massage of the uterus has to occur before the expression of retained clots.
2. Massage of the uterus has to occur before the expression of retained clots.
3. Increasing the intravenous solution is not a priority in this case.
4. The physician does not need to be notified until either the uterus does not respond to massage or the bleeding does not decrease.
