NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer lists specific warning signs such as fever above 100.4°F, foul-smelling discharge, and heavy bleeding with clots, all of which may indicate serious post-partum complications like infection or hemorrhage. It provides clear and actionable advice for when to seek medical attention. The second option is incorrect because mild fatigue and uterine cramping are common parts of postpartum recovery unless they become severe or worsen over time. The third option is incorrect as spotting alone, especially in small amounts, may be normal and does not always require follow-up unless it is accompanied by other concerning symptoms. The fourth option is also incorrect because changes in lochia color are expected as a normal part of the healing process unless accompanied by other significant symptoms such as fever or odor.
