Case Scenario: Miss Te is a 24 year old G2P2. She delivered a term live-baby girl via
normal spontaneous vaginal delivery, with mediolateral episiotomy. She had estimated
250cc blood loss right after delivery. Immediately after delivery, the vital signs were taken:
BP = 110/70 mmHg, PR = 88 bpm, RR = 22 cpm and Temp = 36.5 ͦ C. She chose to do
breastfeeding.
In the endorsement, the previous shift noted that she has not voided yet after 8 hours of
delivery. There was minimal bloody discharge. Uterine was kept contracted. Ongoing IVF
of the patient was #2 D5LR 1L+10 units oxytocin at 120cc/hr to be consumed and
discontinued.
During the morning rounds, Miss Te told the nurse, “Ma’am, sakit po ang dibdib ko. Ang
left nipple ko po ay namaga. Itigil ko po ba ang pagpapasuso, Ma’am?” The nurse noted
there was engorged breast.
General Assessment:
Patient is a 24 year old G2P2 who recently delivered a term live-baby girl via NSVD. A
mediolateral episiotomy was performed to aid delivery and patient has a repaired 2nd
degree vaginal tear. She has not voided 8 hours after delivery. IV line is patent, and
infusion is to be consumed and discontinued. She is breastfeeding. Patient’s mannerisms
and verbalizations suggest she was anxious. All vital signs were within normal range,
except for the respiratory rate right after delivery, which was slightly elevated, but
elevation is expected after strenuous procedures.

Blood pressure manually taken at left arm while sitting, recorded at 110/70 mmHg.
Temperature taken using infrared thermometer at left temporal area, recorded at 36.7 ͦ C.
