Edapt with Complete Solutions

forceps or vacuum, uterine overdistension, and maternal bleeding disorders.




How should a nurse assess for signs of postpartum hemorrhage immediately after delivery?


✔✔Assess by monitoring the amount and characteristics of vaginal bleeding, checking uterine

tone, and observing for signs of shock or excessive blood loss.
