A nurse is assessing a client who is 3 days postpartum. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Rationale:

A. Back pain following intercourse at 36 weeks of gestation may be common and is not typically indicative of an urgent issue.

B. Severe vomiting in early pregnancy could indicate hyperemesis gravidarum, which may require immediate assessment and intervention to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

C. Frequent urination at 10 weeks of gestation is common due to hormonal changes and increased pressure on the bladder from the growing uterus, but it does not typically require immediate assessment unless accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

D. Periodic tingling of the fingers at 24 weeks of gestation could be due to carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common in pregnancy but does not usually require urgent assessment unless severe or accompanied by other symptoms.

Rationale:

A. Tubal ligation does not typically affect the length of menstrual periods.

B. While tubal ligation may prevent pregnancy, it does not directly impact premenstrual tension.

C. Hormone replacement therapy is not typically indicated following tubal ligation unless there are other underlying medical reasons for hormone imbalance.

D. "Ovulation will remain the same" is correct. Tubal ligation prevents pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes, but it does not affect ovulation. Therefore, the client will continue to ovulate normally after the procedure.
