Question 2

  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer to Question 1

C
Because of her height and low body weight, Carol is at risk of developing secondary ame-norrhea, which occurs in women who are thin and have a low percentage of body fat. Fat is necessary to make sex hormones that stimulate ovulation and menstruation.
Jackie, Karen, and Linda have sufficient height and weight combinations to assist with sex hormone production.

Answer to Question 2

T
Since estimating the amount of lochia is difficult, nurses frequently record flow by estimating the amount of lochia in 1 hour using the following labels:
Scantless than a 1-inch stain on the peripad
Lighta 1- to 4-inch stain
Moderatea 4- to 6-inch stain
Heavysaturated peripad
Excessivesaturated peripad in 15 minutes
Determining the time interval that the peripad is in place is also important. Lochia is less for women who have had a cesarean birth since some of the endometrial lining is removed during surgery.
