Answer to Question 1

D
Lochia, the uterine or vaginal discharge after delivery, is initially bright red, then changes to pink or pinkish brown, and finally becomes a yellowish-white color. It has a musty odor, but should not have a foul odor. Foul odor may be a sign of infection. Lochia rubra lasts 3 days and is mostly blood that is bright red. Lochia serosa begins at approximately 4 days and is a pink to pinkish-brown color. After 10 days, lochia alba begins, and the discharge becomes a yellowish-white color and may last 6 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

C
Medical management depends on the stages of the disease: radiation therapy is used for stages I and II and for clients who have mediastinal involvement. A combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is administered to those who have relapsed after radiation therapy alone. A variety of medications may be used in symptomatic treatment or in conjunction with radiation therapy.
