Question

A woman gave birth vaginally to a 9-pound, 12-ounce girl yesterday. Her primary health care provider has written orders for perineal ice packs, use of a sitz bath tid, and a stool softener. What information is most closely correlated with these orders

Answer 1

The woman has an episiotomy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Episiotomy may be defined as the surgical procedure of removal of the vaginal wall during the delivery. This is mainly performed during the second labor stage of delivery.

The episiotomy is important for the easy passageway of the baby. This might cause some problem in the vagina and can cause heavy injury. This can be corrected by using of ice packs and the stool softener that helps in easy passage of stools.

Thus, the answer is episiotomy.
