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.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
