Which information would the nurse emphasize in the teaching plan for a postpartum woman who is reluctant to begin taking warm sitz baths?

Sitz baths cause perineal vasoconstriction and decreased bleeding.

The longer a sitz bath is continued, the more therapeutic it becomes.

Sitz baths increase the blood supply to the perineal area.

Sitz baths may lead to increased postpartum infection.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The correct answer is choice C.

Choice A rationale:

Sitz baths cause perineal vasodilation, not vasoconstriction, and this does not directly affect bleeding.

Choice B rationale:

The duration of a sitz bath does not necessarily correlate with its therapeutic effect.

Choice C rationale:

Sitz baths increase the blood supply to the perineal area, promoting healing and providing relief from discomfort.

Choice D rationale:

Sitz baths do not increase the risk of postpartum infection when done properly.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The correct answer is choice C.

Choice A rationale:

Notifying the provider is not necessary in this case as the findings are normal for a client who is 1 hour postpartum.

Choice B rationale:

Increasing the frequency of fundal massage is not necessary as the fundus is firm and at the umbilicus.

Choice C rationale:

The findings are normal for a client who is 1 hour postpartum. The nurse should document the findings and continue to monitor the client. Therefore, this choice is correct.

Choice D rationale:

Encouraging the client to empty her bladder is not necessary in this case as the fundus is midline.

A. Begins with the time of full cervical dilation (dilatation) and ends with the delivery of the fetus. B. Begins with the time of placental delivery and ends 48 hours later. C. Begins with the time of placental delivery and ends when the health care provider is satisfied that there are no placental fragments. D. Begins with the time of delivery of the fetus and ends with the time of the delivery of the placenta.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

This statement describes the second stage of labor, not the third. The second stage begins with full cervical dilation and ends with the delivery of the fetus.

Choice B rationale:

The third stage of labor does not end 48 hours after the delivery of the placenta. This choice is incorrect.

Choice C rationale:

While it’s important to ensure no placental fragments remain, the third stage of labor technically ends with the delivery of the placenta, not at this later point.

Choice D rationale:

This is the correct definition of the third stage of labor. It begins with the delivery of the fetus and ends with the delivery of the placenta.
