The nursing action appropriate for this kind of case is encouraging
increased fluid intake<span>
<span>The rationale behind this is that around the first day of
postpartum, slight dehydration usually causes a slightly elevated temperature;
the nurse should also encourage increased fluid intake to counter dehydration.
Aspirin is contraindicated in postpartum clients because its anticoagulant
effects may induce the risk of hemorrhage. Reassessment in vital signs every 4
hours is sufficient to evaluate the effectiveness of hydration measures. If the
patient’s oral temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius or 100.4 degrees
Fahrenheit, the nurse should request an antibiotic order since this may suggest
an infection.</span></span>

APGAR is an assessment of how a baby is doing right after the mother gives birth. It identifies if the newborn is ready to meet the world without any further medical assistance. It is compose of 5 aspects namely Appearance,pulse,grimace,activity and respiration and being rate each from 0-2 and the sum of all these would indicate if the baby is healthy or not. In this situation, the baby scores 1 for appearance, pulse and respiration. He or she might score 7-5 which means an unhealthy baby and requires immediate attention like further suctioning and oxygen.
Answer:
D (Swell and Burst)
Explanation:
Pure water contains a very low concentration of solute materials, hence it is regarded as HYPOTONIC. Since the red blood cell contains intracellular fluid that contains more solutes than the extracellular pure water it is placed in, it is said to be HYPERTONIC in comparison with the pure water.
This difference in concentration between the extracellular solution (pure water) and the intracellular fluid (red blood cell) called CONCENTRATION GRADIENT facilitates the movement of water by OSMOSIS. Osmosis is the process whereby water moves across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a high solute concentration.
Based on this osmotic gradient, water moves from the extracellular solution into the cell, causing it to swell and eventually burst as a result of excessive water intake.
