Question 1 of 5
The most common cause of PPH is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive bleeding post-delivery. Atonic uterus (choice A), failure to contract after birth, is the leading cause (70-80% of cases), as uterine contraction normally compresses vessels. Retained placenta (choice B) traps tissue, causing bleeding, but is less common. Trauma (choice C) from tears or surgery, and coagulopathy (choice D) from clotting issues, contribute but are secondary. A is correct, reflecting PPH epidemiology. Nurses administer uterotonics (e.g., oxytocin), massage the fundus, and monitor bleeding, preventing maternal shock.
Question 2 of 5
The client is on NPO post midnight. Which of the following, if done by the client, is sufficient to cancel the operation in the morning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: NPO (nothing by mouth) post-midnight ensures an empty stomach for surgery to prevent aspiration. Smoking at 3:00 A.M (D) violates NPO, as it involves inhalation and can stimulate gastric secretions, posing risks. Eating at 10:00 P.M (A) or drinking at 11:50 P.M (B) occur before midnight, adhering to NPO. Brushing teeth (C) doesn't involve ingestion. Smoking's timing and physiological impact breach NPO, potentially necessitating cancellation, making D the correct answer.

Spiritual pain (A, likely 'Pain') involves suffering, not specified. Guilt (C) is remorse, but her focus is broken connection, not sin. Despair (D) is giving up, unlike her active remedy.
