When discussing the need to support the lower uterine segment, which statement by the new nurse indicates understanding.

A. "Supporting the uterus decreases the amount of pain." Incorrect. While proper support may reduce discomfort, the primary reason is structural support. B. "This is necessary because the ligaments that hold the uterus are stretched." Correct. The uterus is enlarged postpartum, and the ligaments are weakened, making support necessary. C. "This will decrease the severity of uterine bleeding." Not the primary reason, though proper fundal massage can aid in hemorrhage prevention. D. "This will help with uterine involution." Incorrect. Uterine involution is driven by hormonal changes and contractions, not just support.
