Correct Answer: C. apply cold ice packs to the client's perineum
Rationale:

laceration to reduce swelling and provide pain relief. Ice helps numb the area and
reduces inflammation.

B. advise the client to lie on her side
C. request an ultrasound to evaluate fetal wellbeing
D. advise the client to add a calcium supplement to her diet
Correct Answer: B. advise the client to lie on her side

The dizziness is likely caused by supine hypotension syndrome, where the weight
, of the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava when the client is lying on her
back. Advising the client to lie on her side will alleviate the pressure and improve
circulation.

distress is essential when administering oxytocin.
