单项选择题
A 28-year-old client delivered a full-term male neonate one hour ago. Which finding should the nurse expect when palpating the client’s fundus
A. Soft, at the level of the umbilicus.
B. Firm, 2 cm below the umbilicus.
C. Firm, at the level of the umbilicus.
D. Boggy, midway between the umbilicus and symphysis pubis.
答案
参考答案：C
解析：Within 1 hour after delivery, the fundus should be firm and at the level of the umbilicus. A soft or boggy fundus isn’t contracting well because of such factors as a full bladder or retained pieces of placenta, and places the postpartum client at risk for hemorrhage.
