A nurse is assessing a client for postpartum infection.
Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client requires further evaluation for endometritis?

A.

Pelvic pain and fatigue.

B.

Light amount of dark red lochia with a bloody odor.

C.

Hematuria.

D.

A localized area of breast tenderness.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice A rationale

Pelvic pain and fatigue can be indicators of endometritis, an infection of the uterine lining. It often manifests with pain, fever, and general malaise, and requires further evaluation and intervention.

 

Choice B rationale

Light amount of dark red lochia with a bloody odor is a normal postpartum finding. Lochia progresses through different stages, and dark red lochia, which occurs in the later stages, typically has a bloody odor.

 

Choice C rationale

Hematuria, or the presence of blood in the urine, is not a typical symptom of endometritis. It may indicate a urinary tract infection or other renal issues instead.

 

Choice D rationale

A localized area of breast tenderness may indicate mastitis, an infection of the breast tissue. It is not related to endometritis but requires attention and treatment.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Irregular menses are not a direct risk factor for cervical cancer. While they can indicate hormonal imbalances, they are not strongly linked to cervical cancer risk.

Choice B rationale

Menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are more closely linked to breast cancer risks rather than cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is primarily associated with HPV infection.

Choice C rationale

Multiple sexual partners increase the risk of HPV infection, which is the primary cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that significantly raises the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.

Choice D rationale

A family history of breast cancer is more relevant to breast cancer risk rather than cervical cancer. Cervical cancer risk is more closely linked to HPV infection and sexual behavior.
