A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and finds the fundus slightly displaced to the right. Based on these findings, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Assist the client to the bathroom to void. This action helps to empty the bladder, which can reduce uterine displacement. A full bladder can push the uterus to one side. Moving the client to the left lateral position (choice A) may not address the underlying issue of a full bladder. Kegel exercises (choice B) are not directly related to fundal displacement. Asking the client to rate her pain (choice D) is not relevant to the situation at hand.
