A nurse on a postpartum unit is assisting with the care of four clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients should receive Rh (D. immune globulin?

A. Increasing systolic blood pressure: Carboprost is not indicated for increasing systolic blood pressure. If a client's blood pressure is elevated, it may require monitoring and, if necessary, treatment with antihypertensive medication.
B. Breast engorgement: Carboprost is not used to address breast engorgement. Breast engorgement is typically managed with measures like warm compresses, breastfeeding, and potentially pain relievers or other interventions.
C. Pooling of blood beneath the buttocks: This is a concerning sign of potential postpartum hemorrhage. Carboprost is indicated in situations where there is excessive bleeding or inadequate uterine contractions to help control bleeding and prevent further complications.
D. Bladder distention: Carboprost is not used to address bladder distention. Bladder distention may require measures such as catheterization to empty the bladder andalleviate discomfort.

A. Uterine atony
Uterine atony refers to the lack of muscle tone in the uterus after delivery, leading to excessive bleeding. This is not typically associated with abruptio placentae, which involves the premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall during pregnancy, typically presenting with different symptoms such as painful contractions and bleeding.

B. Polyhydramnios
Polyhydramnios refers to an excessive amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy and is not a characteristic of abruptio placentae. Polyhydramnios can be associated with various conditions but is not directly linked to placental abruption.

C. Painless vaginal bleeding
Painless vaginal bleeding is more characteristic of placenta previa, a condition where the placenta is abnormally positioned over the cervix. Abruptio placentae, on the other hand, typically presents with painful vaginal bleeding due to the detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall.

D. Board-like abdomen
A board-like abdomen is a classic sign of abruptio placentae, indicating significant uterine muscle contraction and possible internal hemorrhage. The sudden separation of the placenta can cause blood to accumulate behind the placenta, leading to a rigid, "board-like" feeling of the abdomen, which is a hallmark symptom of this condition.
