Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who gave birth 2 hr ago. The nurse notes that the client's blood pressure is 60/50 mm Hg. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action to take first is to evaluate the firmness of the uterus. This is because a low blood pressure after giving birth could indicate postpartum hemorrhage, and assessing the firmness of the uterus can help determine if there is excessive bleeding causing the hypotension. Administering oxytocin infusion (
B) would be appropriate if uterine atony is identified. Obtaining a type and crossmatch (
C) would be important but not as immediate as assessing for hemorrhage. Initiating oxygen therapy (
D) is not the priority in this situation.
