(from search results) What factor places the postpartum client at risk for thromboembolism?

The correct answer is choice A) Encourage fluid intake to promote hydration.

This is because hydration helps to flush out the infection and prevent dehydration from fever.

Fluid intake also supports milk production for breastfeeding.

Choice B) Instruct the client to avoid ambulation until symptoms resolve is wrong because ambulation promotes blood circulation and prevents thrombosis.

Ambulation also helps to expel lochia and reduce uterine cramping.

Choice C) Administer analgesics as prescribed to manage pain is correct but not the best answer.

Pain management is important for comfort and healing, but it does not address the underlying infection.

Choice D) Instruct the client to avoid breastfeeding until symptoms resolve is wrong because breastfeeding helps to contract the uterus and prevent bleeding.

Breastfeeding also provides immunity and nutrition to the newborn.

The infection is not transmitted through breast milk.

Choice E) Encourage frequent voiding is correct but not the best answer.

Frequent voiding helps to prevent urinary tract infections and bladder distension.

However, it does not directly affect the endometrial infection.

The correct answer is choice D. Both A and B.A boggy uterus is a uterus that is enlarged, soft, and tender due to the failure of the uterus to contract sufficiently after delivery.This condition is called uterine atony and it is the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage.Postpartum hemorrhage is excessive bleeding after childbirth that can lead to shock and death if not treated promptly.

The nursing actions indicated for a boggy uterus are:

• Perform immediate fundal massage: This helps to stimulate uterine contractions and reduce bleeding.

• Ambulate to the bathroom or use bedpan to empty bladder: This helps to reduce bladder distension and allow the uterus to contract and descend into the pelvis.

Choice A is partially correct but not sufficient by itself.

Choice B is also partially correct but not sufficient by itself.Choice C is incorrect because administering oxytocin alone may not be effective in restoring uterine tone if there are other factors contributing to uterine atony, such as overdistension, prolonged labor, or infection.Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions.
