Question 1 of 5
Which information would the nurse emphasize in the teaching plan for a postpartum woman who is reluctant to begin taking warm sitz baths?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Sitz baths increase the blood supply to the perineal area. Warm sitz baths promote relaxation, improve circulation, and aid in healing by increasing blood flow to the perineal region, reducing discomfort, and promoting tissue repair. This is essential for postpartum women to facilitate healing and prevent complications like infection.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because sitz baths do not cause vasoconstriction or decreased bleeding; the therapeutic effect does not necessarily increase with longer duration, and they do not inherently lead to increased postpartum infection when done properly.
