A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 hr postoperative. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Rationale: A. The client reports a pain level of 2 on a 0 to 10 scale after administration of pain medication: A pain level of 2 indicates adequate pain control following surgery, showing that the prescribed analgesic regimen is effective. This finding does not require reporting. B. The client has a urine output of 50 mL/hr after removal of the indwelling urinary catheter: A urine output of 50 mL/hr is within normal limits and indicates adequate renal perfusion. This finding suggests that kidney function and fluid balance are appropriate after surgery. C. The client has a wound dressing saturated with sanguineous drainage after it was reinforced: Saturation of the surgical dressing with sanguineous drainage can indicate active bleeding or hemorrhage. Because this exceeds normal postoperative drainage and persists after reinforcement, it requires immediate notification of the provider. D. The client has an oxygen saturation level of 96% after oxygen 2 L/min via nasal cannula was applied: An oxygen saturation of 96% indicates effective oxygenation and a positive response to therapy. This finding is within normal range and does not signal a complication.
