Question 5 of 5
For each potential assessment finding, click to specify if the assessment finding is consistent with mastitis or endometritis.
| 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 (
B) is consistent with mastitis, an infection of the breast tissue. Temperature (
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 (
A) is more specific to endometritis, an infection of the uterine lining, rather than mastitis.
Therefore, A is not selected. Other choices (E, F, G) are not relevant to the assessment findings for mastitis or endometritis and should not be selected.
