He nurse delegates the care of a multiparous client who gave birth to a viable term neonate vaginally 30 hours ago and is preparing to be discharged to a licensed practical/vocational nurse (lpn/vn). the nurse should instruct the lpn/vn to notify the nurse if the client exhibits which sign or symptom?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is "pulse rate of 100 bpm".
During the first week after giving birth, the female body starts returning to the pre-pregnant state. These first days postpartum, the pulse rate should be relatively low and 60-70 bpm on average. Any pulse rate exceeding this could indicate a dangerous condition for the young mother, such as an infection or internal haemorrhage. Excessive perspiration and frequent voiding are normal conditions postpartum, as well as oral temperature of 99 F.
