After a client has a C-section she needs to get up and take short walks to prevent what?

A.

Hemorrhage.

B.

Blood clots.

C.

Breast engorgement.

D.

Rupture of amniotic membranes.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

 

Hemorrhage is not prevented by walking. Hemorrhage management involves monitoring and medical interventions, not ambulation.

 

Choice B rationale

 

Walking helps prevent blood clots by promoting circulation. Postoperative patients are encouraged to ambulate early to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.

 

Choice C rationale

 

Breast engorgement is managed through breastfeeding or pumping, not walking. Ambulation does not directly affect breast engorgement.

 

Choice D rationale

 

Rupture of amniotic membranes is not relevant postpartum. This condition is related to labor and delivery, not postoperative care.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Sore nipples with cracks and fissures can indicate an infection or improper breastfeeding technique, requiring medical attention.

Choice B rationale

Scant nonodorous white vaginal discharge is normal postpartum and does not require contacting the provider.

Choice C rationale

Uterine cramping during breastfeeding is a normal physiological response due to oxytocin release.

Choice D rationale

Decreased response with sexual activity can be normal postpartum and does not necessarily require immediate medical attention.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Ambulation is crucial in preventing thrombophlebitis as it promotes blood circulation and prevents blood stasis, which can lead to clot formation.

Choice B rationale

Warm, moist soaks can provide comfort but do not significantly contribute to preventing thrombophlebitis.

Choice C rationale

Bed rest increases the risk of thrombophlebitis due to decreased circulation and blood stasis.

Choice D rationale

Placing pillows under the knees can impede blood flow and increase the risk of clot formation.
