Rationale: When uterine atony occurs, the first nursing action would be to massage the uterus until firm. If this does not assist in controlling blood loss, then the physician is notified. Addi-tionally, once bleeding is under control, the nurse would monitor the vital signs and estimate the amount of blood loss.
