ANS: D
A drop in blood pressure by 15, maternal heart rate over 110 beats/minute, or an oxygen saturation less than 95 may indicate a postpartum hemorrhage. The nurse should assess the woman whose blood pressure has changed more than 15. Blood loss of 850 mL during cesarean birth is not considered excessive. A pulse under 100 beats/minute is normal. A mother may well be exhausted and need to rest, particularly if her birthing experience was difficult or traumatic.
