单选题
A 28-year-old client delivered a full-term male neonate one hour ago. Which finding should the nurse expect when palpating the client's fundus? A. Soft, at the level of the umbilicus. B. Firm, 2 cm below the umbilicus. C. Firm, at the level of the umbilicus. D. Boggy, midway between the umbilicus and symphysis pubis.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】Within 1 hour after delivery, the fundus should be firm and at the level of the umbilicus. A soft or boggy fundus isn't contracting well because of such factors as a full bladder or retained pieces of placenta, and places the postpartum client at risk for hemorrhage.
