Practice Question
The RN has received a hand-off report. Which client does the RN need to see first?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The client who had a postpartum hemorrhage 3 hours ago.
Rationale:
🚨 Postpartum hemorrhage is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate monitoring and possible intervention.
🚨 The client is at risk for shock, uterine atony, and blood loss complications.
🚨 This takes priority over non-urgent issues like breastfeeding trouble or moderate pain.
🚨 BP 130/90 in a pre-eclampsia history is important but not as urgent as recent hemorrhage.
