Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who delivered 6 hours ago. Assessment findings reveal a boggy uterus that is displaced above and to the right of the umbilicus. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A boggy uterus displaced above and to the right of the umbilicus often indicates a distended bladder, which can prevent proper uterine contraction. Encouraging voiding addresses this issue, helping the uterus return to its normal position and firm up.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A desire to use the bathroom may indicate a full bladder, which can impede labor progress. Palpating the bladder is the priority to assess this.
