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: The correct answer is A: Apply a moist, warm compress to the perineum. This action helps to reduce pain and swelling, promotes healing, and improves comfort. Moist heat increases blood flow to the area, which can aid in the healing process.


Choice B: Providing a cool sitz bath may provide some relief from discomfort, but warm compresses are more effective for promoting healing in this case.


Choice C: Administering methylergonovine is not indicated for a fourth-degree perineal laceration. This medication is used to prevent or control postpartum hemorrhage.


Choice D: Applying povidone-iodine to the perineum is not recommended as it may cause irritation and delay healing.

In summary, choice A is the most appropriate action as it promotes healing and comfort for the client with a fourth-degree perineal laceration.

Choices B, C, and D are not recommended in this situation.
