The correct answer is B. Palpate fundus.

The nurse should first assess the fundus to determine if it is firm and at the expected level of involution.

A boggy or displaced fundus can indicate uterine atony, which is the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage.

By massaging the fundus, the nurse can stimulate uterine contractions and reduce bleeding.

A. Assess vital signs.

This statement is wrong because assessing vital signs is not the first action the nurse should take.

Vital signs can indicate the severity of blood loss and shock, but they do not address the cause of bleeding.

C. Administer oxytocin as prescribed.

This statement is wrong because administering oxytocin is not the first action the nurse should take.

Oxytocin is a medication that can enhance uterine contractions and reduce bleeding, but it should be given after assessing and massaging the fundus.

D. Check perineal pad.

This statement is wrong because checking perineal pad is not the first action the nurse should take.

Checking perineal pad can help estimate the amount of blood loss, but it does not address the cause of bleeding.

The correct answer is D) Decreased white blood cell count.Postpartum endometritis is an infection of the lining of the uterus that causes fever, abdominal pain, uterine tenderness and sometimes discharge.It is usually caused by bacteria from the lower genital or gastrointestinal tract.White blood cell count is a marker of inflammation and infection, so a decreased white blood cell count indicates that the treatment is effective and the infection is resolving.

A) Decreased vaginal bleeding is not a sign of effective treatment for postpartum endometritis.

Vaginal bleeding after delivery is normal and gradually decreases over time.It is not related to the infection of the uterus.

B) Increased abdominal pain is a sign of worsening infection, not effective treatment.Abdominal pain is one of the symptoms of postpartum endometritis and should improve with antibiotic therapy.

C) Increased temperature is also a sign of worsening infection, not effective treatment.Fever is another symptom of postpartum endometritis and should decrease with antibiotic therapy.
