Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The definition of puerperal infection is a temperature of 100.4 F or higher after the first 24 hours, occurring on at least two of the first 10 days following childbirth. 100.8 F in the first 24 hours, 100.0 F in the first 36 hours, and 99.6 F on the first day and 100.4 F on the second day do not meet the definition of puerperal infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Foods that are high in vitamin K should be restricted and/or limited in consumption while on Coumadin therapy. Vitamin K is the antidote to Coumadin activity.
