Answer to Question 1

C
A positive Homan's sign indicates the presence of thrombophlebitis. Voiding large amounts and moderate lochia rubra at 1-day postpartum are to be expected. A slightly elevated body temperature is normal and related to the many metabolic activities occurring during early postpartum.

Answer to Question 2

A
Rubin, Lederman, Mercer, and other theorists identify accepting the reality of the pregnancy as the first part of maternal adaptation which occurs during the first trimester. Taking prepared childbirth classes is part of the third stage of maternal adaptation. Selecting a name for the newborn and buying newborn clothes are part of the second stage of maternal adaptation, but may not occur until after the fetus is born.
