Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
The last thing the parents need to do is discard the child's toothbrush, once the infection has resolved, so that she does not reinfect herself. Using a cool mist humidifier in the child's room and encouraging her to drink liquids or eat ice chips should begin immediately. Administering antibiotics will also begin immediately and should continue until the entire prescription is used.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Late postpartum hemorrhage is typically due to subinvolution secondary to retained placental fragments, distended bladder, uterine myoma, and infection. Uterine atony, lacerations, and uterine inversion would most likely lead to early postpartum hemorrhage.
