Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. This client is at risk for urinary retention and bladder overdistention. Overdistention occurs postpartum when the woman is unable to empty her bladder, usually because of trauma or the effects of anesthesia. After the effects of anesthesia have worn off, if the woman cannot void, postpartum urinary retention is highly indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Assisting the client to the bathroom is the most likely intervention that will prevent urinary retention.

Answer to Question 2

D
