What symptom would a nurse anticipate in a patient diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis?

Choice A rationale
Sporadic vaginal bleeding accompanied by chronic pelvic pain is not typically associated with a woman who has had multiple pregnancies and is admitted for repair of cystocele and rectocele.
Choice B rationale
Heavy leukorrhea with vulvar pruritus is not typically associated with a woman who has had multiple pregnancies and is admitted for repair of cystocele and rectocele.
Choice C rationale
Menstrual irregularities and hirsutism on the chin are not typically associated with a woman who has had multiple pregnancies and is admitted for repair of cystocele and rectocele.
Choice D rationale
Stress incontinence with a feeling of low abdominal pressure is a common symptom in women who have had multiple pregnancies and are admitted for repair of cystocele and rectocele. Multiple pregnancies can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, leading to conditions like cystocele and rectocele. Stress incontinence, where urine leaks out with increased abdominal pressure (such as when coughing, sneezing, or lifting), is a common symptom of these conditions.

Choice A rationale
Premature rupture of membranes is a condition that can occur during pregnancy, but it is not directly linked to uterine atony or heavy lochia after delivery.
Choice B rationale
Delivery of an intact placenta within 30 minutes of the birth of the infant is a normal occurrence and would not contribute to uterine atony or heavy lochia.
Choice C rationale
Multigravida status, or having been pregnant more than once, can contribute to uterine atony. The uterus may not contract effectively after multiple pregnancies, leading to heavy lochia.
Choice D rationale
While a history of sexually transmitted infections can impact overall reproductive health, it is not directly linked to uterine atony or heavy lochia after delivery.
