Question 5 of 5

| Assessment Findings | Mastitis | Endometritis |
|---|---|---|
| Foul-smelling lochia | ||
| Painful, tender breast | ||
| Temperature | ||
| Chills |
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale:
The correct answer is B, C, and D. Painful, tender breast (

C) is a common symptom for both mastitis and endometritis, indicating an infection in the body. Chills (
D) are also indicative of an infection and can be present in both mastitis and endometritis. Foul-smelling lochia (
