Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The woman who is not immune to rubella is immunized in the immediate postpartum period because there is no danger of her being pregnant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Immediately after the placenta is expelled, the uterine fundus can be felt as a firm mass, about the size of a grapefruit, at the level of the umbilicus.
