A clinical pathway is guiding care for an Rh-negative postpartum client who vaginally delivered a 9-lb, 1-oz (4,121-g) baby 5 hours ago. During the delivery, a second- degree median episiotomy was necessary. Which client outcome should be achieved during the first 12 hours postpartum?

the client will show and explain how to take care of herself. (Self-perineal)

Explanation:

The client should be able to explain and show appropriate self-perineal care.

Perineal care cleanses, comforts, and prevents infection. The nurse must ensure that the client understands perineal care for the immediate postpartum recovery period. Vaginal lochia is initially bloody 1 to 3 days postpartum. Rho(D) immune globulin should also be given 72 hours after delivery if laboratory results shows that the infant is Rh-negative and the mother hasn't been sensitized to Rh antigens.

my hamster died and my second hamster i got after that one died as well. i also lost two birds named rainbow and kiwi, (they didn't die, they flew off and escaped). i lost a cat named omi, and a dog named snoopie. the best way i got over it is, paying my respects, and just thinking that they were in a happy place. as well as just remembering but not thinking about it all the time, just do fun activities and try not to think about it too much. hope you feel better. i'm sorry about your loss. : (
