Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early discharge at 24 hours after delivery is appropriate for a patient who is a multipara, has had two successful breastfeedings, and has no complications. This indicates that the mother and baby are stable and have successfully established breastfeeding, which are good indicators for early discharge. The other options have complications, such as not voiding since delivery (B), premature delivery of multiples (C), and cesarean birth due to fetal distress (D), which require further monitoring before discharge.
