Exhibits Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. The nurse should anticipate a provider's prescription for a(n) dropdownanddropdown.

Rationale for Correct Choices: Intravenous antibiotic: The client exhibits signs of postpartum infection, most consistent with endometritis—elevated WBC count, low-grade fever, uterine tenderness, foul-smelling lochia, and a history of prolonged rupture of membranes and cesarean delivery. IV antibiotics are the first-line treatment to control uterine infection and prevent sepsis. Increase in daily fluid intake: Maintaining adequate hydration is essential to support tissue perfusion and aid in the clearance of infection. Fever and elevated WBCs increase metabolic demands, so increased fluid intake can help mitigate dehydration and support antibiotic therapy. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: Kleihauer-Betke test: This test detects fetal-to-maternal hemorrhage, typically used after trauma or suspected placental abruption. It is not indicated in cases of suspected postpartum infection. Intrauterine tamponade balloon: This intervention is used for managing postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony or trauma, not infection. The client’s bleeding is moderate and not indicative of uncontrolled hemorrhage. Tocolytic medication: Tocolytics are used to suppress premature labor and have no role in postpartum care, especially in the presence of infection, where uterine relaxation could worsen outcomes.
