Situation: Patient S. A is a 32, apparently healthy woman who has been married for 2 years. She denies
having previous surgery, health problems, smoking, alcohol, or use of recreational drugs
Background: S.A. is six (6) hours post normal term spontaneous vaginal delivery of a 4Kg baby boy. She
had an episiotomy with a partial thirds degree extension that was repaired. Estimated blood lost
following delivery was 500mL. Lab values WNL prior to delivery. Postpartum recovery period was
without complications. There were no episodes of unusual bleeding or clots. Her family member is at her
bedside and their newborn is in the well-baby nursery.
Assessment: Her last vital signs were two (2) hours ago. They were: BP 118/72; HR 85; RR 18 and temp
100.2 F. She has a saline lock in her left forearm and is presently sleeping. She is on a regular diet. She
has had normal lochia without bleeding or clots noted on peri-pad. Fundus is firm and patient plans on
breast feeding her baby. Patient complained of after birth cramps and requested pain medication about

patient. You probably can see your other patients before S.A.
