History and Physical A 36-year-old client who is gravida 5 para 5 (GSP5) transferred to the postpartum unit 1 hour after delivery of a 9 lb 1 oz (4.1 kg) female. She was in labor for 25 hours and forceps were used to assist with the delivery. She was given an epidural for anesthesia that was effective. The labor and delivery nurse reported that the client had a 4th degree laceration, and her pain was currently at a 4 on a 0 to 10 pain scale. Her vital signs were stable, and she was catheterized for 500 mL of light yellow urine just prior to delivery. Her spouse was at the bedside for delivery and appeared supportive. Blood type A+. Estimated blood loss was 600 mL after delivery.

A 22-year-old female client is brought to the emergency department by her mother after the client became dizzy and fell. The mother says that the client has been away at college and is home for winter break. The client's mother is greatly concerned because while her daughter has always been thin and athletic, she has never seen her so skinny and emaciated. The client responds by telling her mother, "That is not true. You keep trying to force food down my throat even though it is obvious that I have so much weight to lose!"

The client is resting in bed and cooperative with her mother at her bedside.
