Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Massage should be done first. If the uterus does not contract, other measures must be used. Clots should not be expressed until the uterus is firmly contracted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Severe bleeding caused by uterine atony is life threatening. It can usually be controlled by maintaining a firm uterus.
