Answer to Question 1

B
Initially, the drainage is called lochia rubra.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with spinal cord lesions above T5 may experience sudden and extreme elevations in blood pressure caused by a reflex action of the autonomic nervous system. It is produced by stimulation of the body below the level of the injury, usually by a distended bladder from a blocked catheter. Any stimulation can produce the syndrome, including constipation, diarrhea, sexual activity, pressure ulcers, position changes (from lying to sitting), and even wrinkles in clothing or bed sheets. In addition to high blood pressure, symptoms may include diaphoresis, shivering or goose bumps, flushing of the skin, and a severe pounding headache.
