A and C.
In the PP period, cervical healing occurs rapidly and cervical involution occurs.
After 1 week the muscle begins to regenerate and the cervix feels firm and the external os, is the width of a pencil. The fundus begins to descent into the pelvic cavity after 24 hours, a process known as involution.

• Option B: Although the vaginal mucosa heals and vaginal distention decreases, it takes the entire PP period for complete involution to occur and muscle tone is never restored to the pregravid state.

• Option D: Despite blood loss that occurs during delivery of the baby, a transient increase in cardiac output occurs. The increase in cardiac output, which persists about 48 hours after childbirth, is probably caused by an increase in stroke volume because Bradycardia is often noted during the PP period.

• Option E: Soon after childbirth, digestion begins to begin to be active, and the new mother is usually hungry because of the energy expended during labor.

What teaching should a nurse provide to a client to prevent mastitis?

Prevent mastitis: Take your time when you breastfeed to allow your baby to empty your breast. Try not to switch breasts too early. Express or pump after you breastfeed if your baby is not emptying your breasts when he or she feeds. Prevent sore and cracked nipples.

Apply warm, moist compresses to the affected breast every few hours or take a warm shower. Breastfeed every two hours or more often to keep milk flowing through the milk ducts. If needed, use a breast pump to express milk between feedings. Drink plenty of fluids and rest when possible.

Which intervention would be helpful to a breastfeeding mother who is experiencing engorged breast?

Gently massage your breasts to help milk flow during breastfeeding or pumping. Apply a frozen wet towel, cold gel or ice packs, or bags of frozen vegetables to your breasts for 15 minutes at a time every hour as needed. (Put a thin cloth between the ice pack and your skin.) Avoid tight bras that press on your breasts.
