Answer to Question 1

ANS: True
Metritis is an infection of the endometrium that usually starts at the placental site and spreads to encompass the entire endometrium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: shock
Upon examination of the perineal or vulvar areas, the nurse may notice discoloration and bulging of the tissue at the hematoma site. If touched, the patient complains of severe tenderness, and the clinician generally describes the tissue as full. If the hematoma is large, signs of shock may be evident, and the patient may exhibit an absence of lochia and an inability to void.
