Question 1 of 5

When looking in the mirror at her abdomen, the postpartum client says to the nurse, “My stomach still looks like I’m pregnant!” The nurse explains that the abdominal muscles, which separate during pregnancy, will undergo which change?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: For most women, it takes about 6 weeks (not one week) to regain abdominal wall muscle tone to the prepregnancy state, and usually only with exercise. The “still-pregnant” appearance is caused by relaxation of the abdominal wall muscles. With exercise, most women can regain prepregnancy abdominal muscle tone within about 6 weeks. If the client delivers a very large infant, the abdominal muscles may separate, but the separation will become less apparent over time. Weight loss alone will not strengthen the abdominal muscles.
