A The pulse may be altered with an infection, but the odor of the lochia will be an
earlier sign and more specific.
B An abnormal odor of the lochia indicates infection in the uterus.
C The infection may move to the episiotomy site if proper hygiene is not followed.
D The abdomen becomes distended usually because of a decrease of peristalsis,
such as after cesarean section.
