client with a temperature of 100.4 F degrees this morning.A 10 hours post vaginal

The client that the nurse should assess first after the change of shift report is the patient that is 2
days post c-section with symptoms of a unilateral area of swelling, warmth, and redness on the
left leg because this indicates cellulitis which is a bacterial skin infection that if left untreated can
cause major complications for the mother such as tissue damage. Compared to the other
scenarios this is the most urgent and requires immediate attention due to infection already being
present on the patient. .

What information regarding the advantages of an intrauterine device (IUD) should the
nurse provide?
The advantage of an intrauterine device (IUD) is its longevity because it can be effective and
work for 1 to 10 years but if it's hormonal then only 3 to 5 years. It can be inserted after giving
birth, having an abortion, or a miscarriage. It is easily removed and has no direct effect on
fertility after it is no longer used. Moreover, it can be used on patients that are breastfeeding and
hormonal intrauterine devices help decrease bleeding and cramping during the menstruation
period. Another major advantage of an intrauterine device is that women that are unable to use
the hormonal option can use the non-hormonal option made of copper and it does not interfere
with spontaneity.


4.) A nurse is providing care for an uncircumcised male newborn and his mother. What
information should be provided during discharge regarding bathing of the penile area of
the newborn male?
