C-Section Complications?

Jun 1, 201214 yr

Hey y'all

I'm just reviewing a practice exam I took with NCLEX-4000.

I had a SATA question about a female client who's labor isn't progressing so she has a c-sec. the question asks what should the nurse assess for in this client, and the optional answers are: infection, hemorrhage, hematuria, mastitis, endometritis.

according to the CD, the first 3 options are correct (infection, hemorrhage, hematuria).

My question - I actually have two issues with this question.

First, why should the nurse watch for hematuria? is it b/c the client is at risk for injury to the bladder during the c-sec?

Second, isn't endometritis a complication of c-sections? or do you think it's not one of the correct answer b/c it's a late complication and nothing to watch for in the immediate postoperative period..?

I would love you input on this!

thank you & Good luck :)
