Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the chart of a client who is 2 days postpartum following a vaginal delivery and reports constipation. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a contraindication to the use of a suppository?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Third-degree perineal laceration. Using a suppository in a client with a third-degree perineal laceration can potentially worsen the injury and increase the risk of infection. The suppository insertion may cause trauma to the already compromised tissue, leading to further complications. It is crucial to avoid any interventions that can exacerbate the injury and hinder the healing process.
Choices A, B, and C are not contraindications to using a suppository. Vaginal candidiasis, abdominal distention, and afterpains do not directly impact the safety or effectiveness of using a suppository in this scenario.
