A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and reports difficulty voiding. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client's ability to eliminate urine from the bladder is restored?

A. Fundus 2 fingerbreadths above the umbilicus: This finding relates to uterine involution rather than urinary elimination. While important for postpartum assessment, it does not indicate restored bladder function. B. Uterine atony: Uterine atony is a complication that increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. It does not provide information about the client’s ability to void and requires separate monitoring and intervention. C. Fundus firm and to the right of the abdominal midline: A firm but displaced fundus may indicate a full bladder, which can interfere with urination. This finding suggests bladder distention rather than restored urinary elimination. D. Two voids of 150 mL each over the past 2 hr: Adequate urine output in regular intervals indicates that the bladder is emptying effectively. Measuring volume and frequency confirms the client’s ability to eliminate urine has been restored postpartum.
