Explanation

Choice A rationale: This is incorrect because at about one hour after child birth the fundus should be around the belly button (where it was at 20 weeks of gestation).

Choice B rationale: This is incorrect because at about one hour after child birth the fundus should be around the belly button (where it was at 20 weeks of gestation). It then decreases steadily at approximately 1 cm every 24 hours.

Choice C rationale: One-week post-partum, the fundal height should be about 7 cm below the umbilicus (belly button). This means that the uterus is still larger than normal, but it is contracting and healing. The fundal height may vary depending on factors such as the size and position of the baby, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the mother's body type.

A. Requests opportunity to discuss trauma B. Reports recurrent nightmares C. Indicates working extra hours D. Exhibits diminished reflexes

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Requesting an opportunity to discuss trauma might be indicative of the client's desire to process their experiences, but it's not a specific symptom of PTSD.

Choice B rationale:

Recurrent nightmares are a common symptom of PTSD, often related to the traumatic event.

Choice C rationale:

Indicating working extra hours is not a specific symptom of PTSD.

Choice D rationale:

Exhibiting diminished reflexes is not a typical symptom of PTSD.
