Passage / Scenario
NoneA nurse is discussing risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following conditions is a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage that the nurse should include in the teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Retained placental fragments prevent uterine contraction, leading to excessive bleeding, a primary cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Pregnancy-induced hypertension, meconium-stained fluid, and oligohydramnios are not direct risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage.
