Question 1 of 5

The nurse has completed a postpartum assessment on a patient who delivered 1 hour ago. Which amount of lochia consists of a moderate amount?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Because estimating the amount of lochia is difficult, nurses frequently record flow by estimating the amount of lochia in 1 hour using the following labels: Scant€”less than 2.5 cm (1-inch) stain on the peripad; Light€”less than a 10 cm (4 inch) stain; Moderate€”less than a 15 cm (6 inch) stain; Heavy€”saturated peripad; Excessive€”saturated peripad in 15 minutes. Determining the time interval that the peripad is in place is also important. Lochia is less for women who have had a cesarean birth because some of the endometrial lining is removed during surgery.
