Nursing Actions
On 3/1/07-3/2/07 1st shift 7-3
The Nurse will:
1. Assess vital signs q4h. Rationale: Increase in pulse rate decrease in BP , Increase in respirations could possibly be s/s of hypovolemia. If true hemorrhage; place in Trendelenburg position; assist with blood back to the brain. Foundations of Maternity-Newborn Nsg pg 299
2. Assess lochia, bladder and fundus q 4h . Rationale: Lochia needs to be assessed for amount of blood, color; Fundus assessed for position, & tone. Bladder for distention, and position. Foundations of Maternity-Newborn Nsg pg 299
3. Assess intake & output q 8 h .
Rationale: Kidneys will decrease output and eventually cease, if hypovolemia in progress, to compensate for fluid loss. IV fluids administered to prevent hypovolemic shock from becoming irreversible. Foundations of Maternity- Nursing pg 741.
