Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who gave birth vaginally 12 hr ago and palpates their uterus to the right above the umbilicus. Which of the following interventions should the nurse perform?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Assist the client to empty their bladder. Palpating the uterus above the umbilicus indicates uterine atony, a common cause of postpartum hemorrhage. A full bladder can displace the uterus further, exacerbating the risk of hemorrhage. Emptying the bladder will allow the uterus to contract properly and reduce the risk. Reassessing the client in 2 hours (
A) delays immediate intervention. Administering simethicone (
B) is for gas relief and not relevant in this situation. Instructing the client to lie on their right side (
D) does not address the underlying issue of uterine atony.
