A nurse is assessing the fundus of a postpartum client one day after delivery and notes that the fundus is soft and spongy. Which is the first nursing intervention to preform?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Documenting findings is important but not the priority action when the uterus is boggy. B. Notifying the provider is necessary if fundal massage is ineffective, but the nurse should first attempt massage. C. Massaging the fundus helps stimulate uterine contractions, which is the first-line intervention for a boggy uterus. D. Oxytocin (Pitocin) is often used to maintain uterine tone, but fundal massage is the initial intervention.
