Answer to Question 1

D
An increasing pulse rate is an early sign of excessive blood loss.
A firm fundus indicates that the uterus is contracting and compressing the open blood vessels at the placental site.
Saturation of one pad within the first hour is the maximum normal amount of lochial flow. Two pads within 4 hours is within normal limits.
If the blood volume were diminishing, the blood pressure would decrease.
