Question 3 of 5

A postpartum client's fundus is firm, 3 cm above the umbilicus and displaced to the right. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

The nurse should assist the client to void and then reassess the position and firmness of the fundus to ensure appropriate uterine contraction.
