    HESI PN Exit Proctored Exam

    Which finding should the practical nurse (PN) instruct the postpartum client to report to the charge nurse?

    Explanation & Rationale

    This is the finding that the PN should instruct the postpartum client to report to the charge nurse because it may indicate an infection, such as endometritis, mastitis, or urinary tract infection, that requires prompt treatment. The PN should also instruct the client to monitor for other signs of infection, such as foul-smelling lochia, redness or tenderness of the breasts, or dysuria.
