Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the condition: Uterine atony refers to the lack of muscle tone in the uterus, which can lead to excessive postpartum bleeding.
Identify the primary concern: Since uterine atony can cause significant bleeding, assessing the amount of vaginal bleeding is crucial to determine the severity of the condition.
Prioritize assessments: While evaluating pain, temperature, and blood pressure are important, the immediate concern with uterine atony is the potential for hemorrhage, making the assessment of vaginal bleeding the priority.
Perform the assessment: Check the amount and characteristics of vaginal bleeding, noting any clots or changes in color, which can indicate the severity of the bleeding.
Consider further actions: Based on the assessment of vaginal bleeding, decide on the next steps, which may include interventions to manage bleeding and stabilize the client.
