The document summarizes the nursing care for a client experiencing postpartum hemorrhage. It includes an assessment noting signs of fluid volume deficit, a diagnosis of fluid volume deficit secondary to postpartum hemorrhage. The plan is for the client to maintain fluid volume through independent nursing interventions like monitoring output and vital signs, and collaborative interventions like administering medication and oxygen as needed. The rationale explains how these interventions help monitor the client's status and encourage recovery from blood loss.

The key takeaways are signs and symptoms of postpartum hemorrhage include heavy bleeding, pallor, decreased urine output, and fluid volume deficit. Nursing interventions include massaging the uterus, administering oxytocin and other medications, placing the client in Trendelenberg position, and monitoring vital signs and blood loss. The goals are to maintain fluid volume and stabilize the client's condition.
Signs and symptoms of postpartum hemorrhage include easy fatigability, anxiety, drop in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, blood loss of more than 500 ml, heavy lochia flow, and decreased urine output.
Nursing interventions used to manage postpartum hemorrhage include assessing uterine contraction and lochia flow, monitoring vital signs and laboratory studies, advising bed rest, keeping fluids within reach, teaching perineal self-care, administering oxytocin as prescribed, and placing the mother in Trendelenberg position.
