The most important nursing consideration in a postpartal woman with a hypotonic contraction is:
- a. Assessment for infection
- b. Assessment for bleeding
- c. Assessment for FHR
- d. Assessment for woman’s coping mechanism
Situation:
Bleeding during pregnancy is a serious case and should be managed immediately.
Answer: B.
During the postpartum period, the uterus should be palpated and lochia should be assessed because contractions after birth may also be hypotonic that will result to bleeding.
