Answer to Question 1

B
Postcoital testing is used to evaluate cervical mucus to determine adequacy of mucus and the ability of the sperm to travel within it. Tubal patency is evaluated using hysterosalpingograp hy, ultrasonography, or laparoscopy. Cervical structure is evaluated through vaginal examination, and tubal motility can be determined by hysterosalpingograp hy.

Answer to Question 2

B
The fundus should be one fingerbreadth below the umbilicus within 12 hours following birth. At 3 fingerbreadths, the nurse should suspect a distended bladder. The lochial drainage should be rubra (bright red bleeding) at this point. This is within normal limits. An indwelling Foley catheter draining less than 30 mL urine per hour would indicate possible dehydration or postpartal hemorrhage. The cramping is the normal characteristic of afterpains.
