Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the early part of the fourth stage of labor, the uterus must remain contracted to compress the open blood vessels and prevent excessive bleeding. Assessment of bleeding and uterine firmness is critical to detect hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
During labor, gastrointestinal motility slows, white blood cells increase, muscle tissue breaks down, estrogen increases, and progesterone decreases.
