Question 1 of 5
Postpartum overdistention of the bladder and urinary retention can lead to which complication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Incomplete emptying and overdistention of the bladder can lead to urinary tract infection. Overdistention of the bladder displaces the uterus and prevents contraction of the uterine muscle. There is no correlation between bladder distention and blood pressure or fever. There is no correlation between bladder distention and eclampsia. The risk of uterine rupture decreases after the birth.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse includes the addition of ice sitz baths for the postpartum patient. Which assessment finding indicates the treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sitz baths may be offered two to four times a day to women with episiotomies, painful hemorrhoids, or perineal edema. Sitz baths provide continuous circulation of water and cleanse and comfort the traumatized perineum. Cool water reduces pain caused by edema and may be most effective within the first 24 hours. Ice can be added to cool the water to a comfortable level as the woman sits in it. Approximation of the edges of a wound facilitates wound healing. The purpose of the cold sitz bath is to decrease the edema secondary to tissue trauma.
Question 3 of 5
What should a new mother do to accept the real baby?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Accepting the real infant and relinquishing the fantasy infant occurs during the letting-go phase of maternal adjustment. This phase is crucial for a mother to bond with her baby and establish a healthy relationship. Letting-go allows the mother to embrace the reality of her new role and the needs of her infant, leading to better maternal adjustment and overall well-being for both mother and baby.

Question 5 of 5
Which measure may prevent mastitis in a breastfeeding patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Early and frequent feedings prevent milk stasis, engorgement, and mastitis by ensuring proper milk flow and emptying of the breast. Nursing for only 5 minutes may not fully empty the breast, leading to stasis. Tight bras can constrict milk flow, and ice packs before feeding can decrease milk production. Frequent feedings are key to preventing mastitis in breastfeeding patients.
