Question 1 of 5

The client, whose parity is 1, had a vaginal delivery 6 days ago and arrived home yesterday after treatment for endometritis. The home health nurse visits the client and plans teaching after seeing which most concerning item in the client’s bathroom?

A. A box of tampons on the floor outside of the shower stall. B. Loofa bath sponge sitting on the seat of the shower stall. C. Damp towel bunched on the towel bar and near the floor. D. Can of bathroom cleaner on the floor of the shower stall.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The nurse should plan teaching about the use of tampons during postpartum. The tampon may irritate or dry the vagina, holds lochia in the body, and increases the risk of infection. The client should be instructed to wear a peripad. Loofas or bath sponges for bathing the body postpartum are not contraindicated. While it is a good idea to hang towels neatly so that they dry more rapidly and reduce mold growth, this is not a priority for teaching. The bathroom cleaner would be dangerous to an older child who is more mobile, but the client’s parity is 1. The client would be wise to start considering safety issues by placing this out of reach, but this is not the priority teaching item.
