Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assessing the fundus and bladder status will help determine if there is any deviation from normal postpartum bleeding and if interventions such as voiding or massage may be necessary. Catheterization and Methergine administration are not appropriate without further assessment or provider orders. Contacting the physician may not be necessary unless there are indications of abnormal bleeding or additional symptoms.
