Answer: The most appropriate nursing at this time is to have the client empty her bladder.
Explanation:
The bladder can elevate the uterus when it is completely full. This is why the uterus moves/displaces to the right of the midline. After doing this, the uterus may still feel firm, but it may relax so that the bleeding can commence.
A nurse or CNA should always help a new mother to the bathroom in case of dizziness or weakness of the legs.
