Medications used to manage postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) include: (Select all that apply)

Choice A rationale

Support groups provide emotional connection, but they do not address immediate concerns like the parents' involvement in care, which is essential for fostering confidence and bonding with the baby.

Choice B rationale

Limiting visits could increase parental anxiety and hinder their emotional connection to their baby. Parental involvement in care improves attachment and reduces stress, making this suggestion counterproductive to emotional health.

Choice C rationale

Advising parents to avoid attachment disregards the importance of early bonding in the neonatal period, which plays a key role in long-term emotional and psychological development for both the child and the parents.

Choice D rationale

Regular updates and including parents in the baby’s care empower them, promoting attachment and reducing feelings of helplessness. Parent-infant interaction has been shown to enhance coping mechanisms and improve family dynamics.

Choice A rationale

Elastic stockings help improve venous return, reducing clot propagation in thrombophlebitis. Proper usage minimizes symptoms like pain and swelling, and supports overall vein health, crucial for recovery and preventing complications.

Choice B rationale

Massaging an affected leg with thrombophlebitis is contraindicated as it increases the risk of clot dislodgement, potentially leading to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. This misconception highlights the need for further client education.

Choice C rationale

Avoiding prolonged sitting prevents venous stasis and encourages circulation, which is vital in thrombophlebitis management to prevent worsening of clotting and associated complications such as pain or swelling.

Choice D rationale

Elevating the affected leg reduces swelling and promotes venous drainage, alleviating discomfort associated with thrombophlebitis. This intervention supports the resolution of inflammation in the superficial veins.
