A nurse is providing discharge education to a client with a history of bleeding disorders. Which instruction should the nurse include to promote client safety?

A) Incorrect. While monitoring the client's pain level is important, it is not the priority when managing postpartum hemorrhage.

B) Incorrect. While breastfeeding can help stimulate uterine contractions, it is not the priority when actively managing postpartum hemorrhage.

C) Correct. Assessing the client's uterine contractions is the priority when managing postpartum hemorrhage. Weak or ineffective contractions can contribute to excessive bleeding after childbirth.

D) Incorrect. While educating the client about contraceptive methods is essential for family planning, it is not the immediate priority when managing postpartum hemorrhage.

A) Incorrect. Acute blood loss does not typically lead to a decreased platelet count. Platelet levels may remain within the normal range or slightly decrease due to hemodilution.

B) Correct. In acute blood loss, the concentration of red blood cells decreases, leading to hemoconcentration and elevated hemoglobin levels. This is the body's initial response to conserve oxygen-carrying capacity.

C) Incorrect. An increased white blood cell count is not a direct result of acute blood loss and may indicate other inflammatory or infectious processes.

D) Incorrect. Elevated liver enzymes are not a typical finding in acute blood loss. They are more indicative of liver injury or dysfunction.
