Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
With pregnancy, the cervix becomes slitlike in appearance on examination. The appearance of the cervix caused by pregnancy does not correlate with the method of birth. Treatment of STD is not associated with cervical changes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Lochia flow should progress from rubra to serosa to alba as part of the normal sequence. A change in sequence would indicate an abnormal finding and possible infection and/or bleeding. The uterine fundus should no longer be palpable at 2 weeks postbirth. Afterbirth pains during the postpartum period are a normal finding based on involution of the uterus. Lochia flow may be heavier on arising because of the effects of gravity and pooling of blood while recumbent.
