Question 3 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse interpret this data as being?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A normal postural discharge of lochia occurs when pooled blood in the vagina is expelled upon standing or changing position. This is common and expected in the postpartum period.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assisting the client to void is the first action the nurse should take. A full bladder can cause the fundus to deviate to the right and become boggy. Voiding helps the uterus contract and return to its normal position.
