Question 1 of 5

The postpartum client, who had a forceps-assisted vaginal birth 4 hours ago, tells the nurse that she is having continuing perineal pain rated at 7 out of 10 and rectal pressure. An oral analgesic was given and ice applied to the perineum earlier. What should the nurse do now?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Reexamination of the perineum should be completed before calling the HCP to report the pain level. A forceps-assisted delivery can increase the risk of hematoma development. Rectal pressure and perineal pain can indicate a hematoma in the posterior vaginal wall. The nurse should closely examine the perineum and the vaginal introitus for ecchymosis and a bulging mass. Ambulation would not help the perineal pain. A stool softener would be appropriate to avoid constipation but would not help the immediate problem.
