Nursing of the childbearing family - Maternity University of Texas
A 28-year-old G1 delivered 16 hours ago via forceps-assisted vaginal delivery of a 9lb 2 oz male infant with a 4th-degree repair. Quantitative blood loss (QBL) is 378mL. She was in the second stage of labor for 3.5 hours and is very sore and swollen. Vital signs are within normal limits and she reports her pain at 6/10. She is ambulating and last voided 300cc of clear yellow urine 4 hours ago. Bowel sounds are active, and she is passing gas but has not had a bowel movement since delivery. The patient is straight cathed and stabilized, and a few hours later, the nurse enters the room to discuss discharge teaching about lochia. Match each phase of lochia to the correct description: Rubra (pick 3), Serosa (pick 3), Alba (pick 3).
