Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Survival guilt sometimes is felt by grandparents because they believe that the death upsets the natural order of things. They are angry that they are alive and their grandchild is not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Firmness of the uterus is necessary to control bleeding from the placental site. The nurse should first assess for firmness and massage the fundus as indicated. Assessing blood pressure is an important assessment with a bleeding patient; however, the top priority is to control the bleeding. If bleeding continues in the presence of a firm fundus, lacerations may be the cause.
