ANSWER-ANS: A

2 cm every 24 hours. Within 12 hours after
delivery the fundus may be approximately 1
cm above the umbilicus. By the sixth after
birth week the fundus normally is halfway
between the symphysis pubis and the
umbilicus. The fundus should be easily
palpated using the maternal umbilicus as a
reference point.

oligohydramnios
b. A woman who is a gravida 4, para 4-0-0-4
c. A woman who is bottle-feeding her infant
d. A woman whose infant weighed 5 lbs, 3
ounces - CORRECT ANSWER-ANS: B
Afterpains are more common in
multiparous women. Afterpains are more
noticeable with births in which the uterus
was greatly distended, as in a woman who
experienced polyhydramnios or a woman
who delivered a large infant. Breastfeeding
may cause afterpains to intensify.
3. A woman gave birth to a healthy infant
boy 5 days ago. What type of lochia would
the nurse expect to find when assessing this
woman?
a. Lochia rubra
b. Lochia sangra
c. Lochia alba
d. Lochia serosa - CORRECT ANSWER-ANS: D
Lochia serosa, which consists of blood,
serum, leukocytes, and tissue debris,
generally occurs around day 3 or 4 after
childbirth. Lochia rubra consists of blood
and decidual and trophoblastic debris. The
flow generally lasts 3 to 4 days and pales,
becoming pink or brown. There is no such
term as lochia sangra. Lochia alba occurs in
most women after day 10 and can continue
up to 6 weeks after childbirth.
