After a client has a C-section she needs to get up and take short walks to prevent what?
Hemorrhage.
Blood clots.
Breast engorgement.
Rupture of amniotic membranes.
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
The client needs a second varicella vaccination at her postpartum visit to ensure full immunity. The initial dose provides partial immunity, and the second dose completes the vaccination series.
Choice B rationale
The client needs to use contraception for 1 month, not 3 months, before considering pregnancy after receiving the varicella vaccine. This is to prevent potential harm to a developing fetus.
Choice C rationale
The varicella vaccine is not given based on the baby’s blood type. It is administered to protect the client from varicella infection.
Choice D rationale
There is no need for testing to see if the client has developed immunity after receiving the varicella vaccine. The second dose is given to ensure full immunity.
