Question 5 of 5
A woman delivered a baby 9lbs 10oz 1 hour ago. When you arrive to perform a 15-minute assessment she tells you that she feels all wet underneath. You discover that both pads are completely saturated and that she’s lying in a 6-inch diameter of blood. What does nurse do first
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this scenario, the priority action for the nurse to take is to assess the source of the woman's feeling of wetness underneath her. This could indicate a significant amount of postpartum bleeding, also known as hemorrhage. It is crucial to determine if she is experiencing excessive bleeding as this can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly. By identifying the source of the wetness, the nurse can assess the situation and take appropriate actions to address any potential complications. Once the severity of bleeding is determined, further assessments and interventions can be initiated accordingly.
