Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's symptoms and the initiation of IV antibiotics suggest an infection, possibly endometritis, which can be related to a positive Beta-strep culture. This understanding indicates effective teaching. Parametritis (A) is an inflammation of the tissue adjacent to the uterus, not directly indicated by the symptoms. Gonorrhea (B) is a specific sexually transmitted infection, not the most common cause of postpartum infections. Walking more (D) is unrelated to preventing such infections.
