Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Methergine provides long-sustained contraction of the uterus. There is no correlation between dehydration and subinvolution. There is no indication that excessive blood loss has occurred. Oxytocin provides intermittent contractions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A WBC count in the upper ranges of normal (20,000 to 30,000 cells/mm3) may indicate an infection. An elevated WBC count is anticipated but becomes a concern as it hits the upper range. An elevated WBC count may be an indication of different types of infection.
