Simulated
A client who experienced a severe postpartum hemorrhage following the vaginal birth of twins is transferred to the postpartum unit. The nurse knows that assessment for which complication is the highest priority for this client?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Severe postpartum hemorrhage increases the risk of DIC, a life-threatening clotting disorder. Psychosis, afterpains, and placenta accreta are less immediate concerns in this context.
