Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
Correct: B, C, D, E. Postpartum hemorrhage often results in anemia, and iron therapy may need to be initiated. Exhaustion is common after hemorrhage. It may take the new mother weeks to feel like herself again. Fatigue may interfere with normal parent-infant bonding and attachment processes. The mother is likely to require assistance with housework and infant care. Excessive blood loss increases the risk for infection.
Incorrect: A. The excessive blood loss that this mother has experienced is likely to lead to risk for infection rather than dehydration. It is important that all mothers be educated on adequate fluid intake after delivery.
