Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client on the second day postpartum. The client informs the nurse that she is voiding a large volume of urine frequently.
Question 1 of 5
Which factor should the nurse identify as a potential cause for urinary frequency?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Postpartum diuresis. Postpartum diuresis occurs after childbirth due to the body eliminating excess fluid accumulated during pregnancy, leading to increased urine production and urinary frequency. This is a common physiological process in postpartum women.
Choice A, Urinary tract infection, typically presents with symptoms such as burning with urination, urgency, and may be associated with fever.
Choice B, Trauma to pelvic muscles, would more likely present with symptoms like pelvic pain or difficulty with urination.
Choice C, Urinary overflow, is characterized by incomplete bladder emptying leading to dribbling or leakage, rather than increased frequency.
