The nurse evaluating the amount of lochia on a newly delivered patient knows that a moderate amount of flow constitutes a 4- to 6-inch stain on the peripad. Is this statement true or false?

Since estimating the amount of lochia is difficult, nurses frequently record flow by
estimating the amount of lochia in 1 hour using the following labels:
Scantless than a 1-inch stain on the peripad
Lighta 1- to 4-inch stain
Moderatea 4- to 6-inch stain
Heavysaturated peripad
Excessivesaturated peripad in 15 minutes
Determining the time interval that the peripad is in place is also important. Lochia is less
for women who have had a cesarean birth since some of the endometrial lining is removed
during surgery.
