Explanation & Rationale
A. Labor induction with oxytocin increases the risk for uterine atony due to prolonged stimulation of uterine muscles, which predisposes the client to postpartum hemorrhage. B. A newborn weight of 2.948 kg (6 lb 8 oz) is within normal range and does not increase the risk for postpartum hemorrhage. C. A history of human papillomavirus (HPV) does not contribute to postpartum hemorrhage risk. D. A history of uterine atony places the client at high risk for postpartum hemorrhage, as the uterus may fail to contract effectively after delivery. E. Vacuum-assisted delivery increases the risk of trauma and retained placental fragments, both of which can lead to postpartum hemorrhage.
