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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
