Thank you so much!! You really pointed out several things I hadn't thought about. If you aren't an instructor, maybe you should be. I have read several of your posts and you make it easier to get a clear picture. Thanks for taking the time to help.

I found this site last week and I love it! I've been telling my classmates about it. Okay, my client was a 16 yr old, para 1, grava 1, lacerations repair, history of chlamydia, intake 400 ml and output 800 ml per day of care (4 hours), scant lochia, vitals and labs wnl, 40 wk gestation. So far I've gotten acute pain, risk for infection, risk for deficient fluid volume, risk for constipation(?), risk for ineffective coping, deficient knowledge,and readiness for enhanced family coping. I have to have 10 dx and care plans for the top 5. I do pretty good with my interventions, but always get counted off for not having enough assessment data. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have been searching my book and the net and haven't come up with a satisfying answer. What nursing interventions would be used for excessive lady partsl bleeding during the immediate post-op period following a C-section? Can't do fundal massage, right?
