44.  Postpartum Hemorrhage Phase 1. Recognize cues Marti, a 30-year-old, gave birth to twins at 37 weeks of gestation after being induced with IV oxytocin for preeclampsia. This is Marti’s fourth pregnancy; she has three children, ages 2, 4, and 6. The first twin was delivered spontaneously, but forceps were used to deliver the second one. She had a second-degree laceration, which was repaired. Her estimated blood loss was 400 ml. Marti is now 8 hours postpartum. She is on IV magnesium sulfate at 1 g/hour and has a Foley catheter in place. Postpartum oxytocin was discontinued at the 6-hour postpartum check as her fundus was firm and located 1 cm above the umbilicus, and lochia rubra was moderate. Highlight the factors that place Marti at risk for excessive postpartum bleeding. Phase 2. Generate solutions The nurse performs a postpartum assessment on Marti. Her fundus is boggy and located 2 cm above the umbilicus. The nurse massages the fundus, and it remains boggy. The peripad is completely soaked. More lochia is noted on the underpad. Marti says she feels weak and is worried that something is wrong. Vital signs are BP 110/60, pulse 90, respirations 22, temperature 37.8°C (100.1°F), O2 saturation 95%, and urine output 150 mL since giving birth 8 hours ago.
