Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
DIC is a life-threatening defect in coagulation that may occur following abruptio placentae. DIC allows excess bleeding from any vulnerable area such as IV sites, incisions, gums, or nose. A urine output of 30 mL in 1 hour, blood pressure of 110/60 mm Hg, and respiratory rate of 16 breaths/min are normal findings in a postpartum client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Initial treatment of an incomplete abortion should be focused on stabilizing the client's cardiovascular state. Methylergonovine would be administered after surgical treatment, preoperative teaching is not a priority until the client is stabilized, and the left side-lying position provides no benefit to the client in this situation.
