Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During the period immediately after delivery, the woman is at greatest risk for hemorrhage. Monitoring vital signs every 15 minutes allows the detection of early signs of hemorrhage: increased pulse and increased respirations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Rubin's phases are taking in, taking hold, and letting go. Taking in is when the woman is passive and dependent; taking hold is when she asserts her independence; and letting go is when she assumes her new maternal role.
