Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hr postpartum and has a fourth-degree laceration of the perineum. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A. Apply a moist, warm compress to the perineum.


Rationale: Applying a moist, warm compress helps reduce pain, swelling, and discomfort in the perineal area postpartum. It promotes healing and provides comfort to the client with a fourth-degree laceration. This action also helps improve circulation to the area, aiding in the healing process.

Incorrect

Choices:
B: Providing a cool sitz bath may provide relief for hemorrhoids or perineal discomfort but is not the best option for a fourth-degree laceration. Warm compresses are more suitable in this situation.
C: Administering methylergonovine is used to prevent or treat postpartum hemorrhage, not for perineal lacerations.
D: Applying povidone-iodine after voiding is not recommended as it can be irritating to the wound and delay healing.
