Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is 1 hr postpartum following a vaginal birth. The nurse notes that the client has excessive vaginal bleeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action is to massage the client's fundus first. This helps to stimulate uterine contractions and control excessive bleeding, preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Massaging the fundus promotes the expulsion of clots and helps the uterus contract, decreasing the risk of further bleeding. Administering oxytocin (choice
B) can be done after fundal massage to enhance uterine contractions. Emptying the client's bladder (choice
C) can also aid in reducing uterine atony but is not the priority in this situation. Providing oxygen (choice
