Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 7 days postpartum and calls the clinic to report pain and redness of her left calf. Besides seeing her provider, which of the following interventions should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Elevate her leg. Elevating the leg helps promote venous return and reduce swelling, which can alleviate pain and redness in the calf. This intervention is important to prevent complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) postpartum. Massaging the area (
A) can dislodge a blood clot if present. Applying cold compresses (
C) can worsen venous stasis. Flexing the knee while resting (
D) may not be as effective in improving venous return as elevating the leg.
