Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Offering the parents the opportunity to bathe and dress their baby can provide a sense of normalcy and closure.
Choice B rationale:
This statement assumes the client wants to have another baby and that they will be able to do so, which may not be the case.
Choice C rationale:
It’s important to allow the parents to grieve in their own way. Some may find holding the baby helpful, while others may not.
Choice D rationale:
While naming the baby can provide an identity, it should be the parents’ decision.

A. The client urinates 30 mL/hr. B. The client does not feel the urge to urinate. C. The uterine fundus is 2 cm above the umbilicus. D. The bladder is distended upon palpation.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Urinating 30 mL/hr is correct. This is within the normal urinary output range of 30 to 60 mL/hr, indicating effective voiding.
Choice B rationale:
Not feeling the urge to urinate is incorrect. This could indicate urinary retention, not effective voiding.
Choice C rationale:
A uterine fundus 2 cm above the umbilicus is incorrect. This is unrelated to the client’s ability to void effectively.
Choice D rationale:
A distended bladder upon palpation is incorrect. This could suggest urinary retention, not effective voiding.
