experiencing postpartum hemorrhage. Which of the following
actions is the nurse’s priority?
• Massage the client’s fundus

client is at the greatest risk for hypovolemic shock. This
can compromise the client’s vital organs, which can lead to
death. Therefore, the nurse’s priority is to massage the
client’s fundus to minimize blood loss.
2. A nurse is caring for a client who is to receive oxytocin to augment her
labor. Which of the following findings contraindicates the initiation of
the oxytocin infusion and should be reported to the provider?

insufficiency. Therefore, this is a contraindication for the
administration of oxytocin and should be reported to the
provider.
3. A nurse is assessing a client who has severe preeclampsia. Which of the
following manifestations should the nurse expect?
• Blurred vision
The nurse should identify that a client who has severe
preeclampsia can have arteriolar vasospasms and
decreased blood flow to the retina which can lead to visual
disturbances, such as blurred vision, double vision, or dark
spots in the visual field.
4. A nurse is assessing a client who is 1 day-postpartum and has a vaginal
hematoma. Which of the following manifestation should the nurse
expect?
