Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
Large clots that form in a flaccid uterus can obstruct the flow of lochia. A full bladder is a major cause of a uterus that is boggy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Nursing mothers should take in about 3 liters of fluid a day. All the other options are interventions to reduce the risk of mastitis and milk accumulation in the breast.
