Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The priority assessment of the mother after delivery of the infant and prior to delivery of the placenta is the condition of the cervix, vagina, and perineum. This is to ensure that there are no tears or lacerations that need immediate attention in order to prevent further bleeding and infection. Suturing of any tears, administering oxytocin infusion, and examination of the umbilical cord can wait until after the assessment of the cervix, vagina, and perineum is completed.
