Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The uterine fundus is palpated by placing one hand on the base of the uterus immediately above the symphysis pubis and the other hand at the level of the umbilicus. The nurse presses inward and downward with the hand positioned on the umbilicus until the fundus is located. The uterus should never be palpated without supporting the lower uterine segment. Failure to do so may result in uterine inversion and hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
There are many possible maternal complications to cesarean birth, including chronic pain, placental problems in subsequent pregnancies, urinary tract injury, wound dehiscence, and adhesions. Sexual dysfunction is not a typical complication.
