Question 1 of 5
Two days after delivery, a postpartum client prepares for discharge. What should the nurse teach her about lochia flow?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Lochia normally lasts for about 21 days, and changes from a bright red, to pinkish brown, to creamy white. This is accurate information regarding the typical progression of lochia flow postpartum. Lochia rubra is the initial discharge, followed by lochia serosa, and finally, lochia alba. This teaching is important for the client to understand what to expect in terms of postpartum bleeding.
Choice A is incorrect as it inaccurately describes the color changes of lochia.
Choice B is incorrect because the presence of numerous clots is common in the immediate postpartum period and not necessarily abnormal.
Choice C is incorrect as perineal pad saturation is expected initially, and significant saturation may not always indicate hemorrhage.
