Answer to Question 1

B
The primary manifestation of a vaginal hematoma is severe pain at the site. A hematoma is a circumscribed pocket of blood. A vaginal hematoma will not cause uterine atony. Hypertension is a more likely scenario, due to the severe pain.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client who would probably experience difficulty in adapting to the maternal role would be one without a support system. So the correct answer would be a 25-year-old single woman who has no support person during a cesarean section delivery.
