Question

Two days ago, a woman gave birth to her third infant; she is now preparing for discharge home. After the birth of her second child, she developed an endometrial infection. Nursing goals for this discharge include all of the following except:

Answer 1

a) List signs of infection that she will report to her health care provider

b) The patient will show no signs of infection

c) Maintain previous household routines to prevent infection

d) Discuss methods that the woman will use to prevent infection

Answer:

(c). Maintain previous household routines to prevent infection

.

Endometrial infection is inflammation of the endometrium or walls of the uterus, as a result of infection spread from the cervix.

Basically this infection is  common with afterbirth, but it can also spread form the cervix  during menstruation, abortion etc. It is characterised with pains of the lower   abdominal, fever, and virginal discharge.

Therefore all the options (a, b,d) are preventive and  care management procedures for endometrial infection. The option C is not related to the care management, because  maintenance of household routines does not have any relationship with the spread of infection through the cervix to the uterus. Had it mean it was  maintenance of personal hygiene instead of  household routines, then this would have been appropriate for the cure and care of the infection.
