Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The copper IUD is a highly effective, long-term contraception method that does not interfere with breastfeeding. Choice A is incorrect because oral contraceptives may reduce milk supply, and many types are not recommended during breastfeeding. Choice C is incorrect because contraceptive injections may not be ideal during breastfeeding. Choice D is incorrect because emergency contraception is used only after unprotected sex and is not a long-term solution.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Massaging a boggy uterus stimulates contraction and reduces the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: An abnormality in the FHR that is abrupt and appears to be in the shape of a "W" is often indicative of variable decelerations. Variable decelerations typically occur due to compression of the umbilical cord, leading to a temporary decrease in oxygen supply to the fetus. It is important for the nurse to inform this group that they are at the highest risk for compression of the umbilical cord as this can result in fetal distress and potentially lead to serious complications if not promptly addressed.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Maternal hyperglycemia 1 day post-cesarean birth can indicate infection. Hyperglycemia can impair immune function and make the body more susceptible to infections.
