Summary ( 20 Questions)

A nurse is evaluating a client who has prolonged and obstructed labor for signs of postpartum hemorrhage.

Which of the following findings is an early indicator of postpartum hemorrhage?



Correct Answer: A

A boggy uterus that does not respond to massage is an early indicator of postpartum hemorrhage.

A boggy uterus means that the uterus is not contracting properly after delivery, which can lead to excessive bleeding from the site where the placenta was attached. This condition is called uterine atony and it is the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage.

Massage can help stimulate the uterus to contract and stop the bleeding, but if it does not work, other interventions are needed.
