History and Physical A 36-year-old client who is gravida 5 para 5 (GSP5) transferred to the postpartum unit 1 hour after delivery of a 9 lb 1 oz (4.1 kg) female. She was in labor for 25 hours and forceps were used to assist with the delivery. She was given an epidural for anesthesia that was effective. The labor and delivery nurse reported that the client had a 4th degree laceration, and her pain was currently at a 4 on a 0 to 10 pain scale. Her vital signs were stable, and she was catheterized for 500 mL of light yellow urine just prior to delivery. Her spouse was at the bedside for delivery and appeared supportive. Blood type A+. Estimated blood loss was 600 mL after delivery.

Nurses Notes

Pain assessment has been completed. The client’s pain is rated as 2 on a 0 to 10 pain scale. The client has requested sleeping medication for the night. She has shared that she keeps having distressing thoughts and memories about the house collapsing, which is preventing her from falling asleep. She states, “I used to be so happy before all of this happened. Now I can’t seem to get out of this funk I am in.” The client has also expressed a preference for a quieter area of the unit as she is currently located by the nurses’ station and is constantly disturbed by talking and alarms.

For each statement, specify if the client has an understanding or no understanding of asthma triggers. Each row must have one option selected.
