One day after delivery, a postpartum patient reports voiding of small amounts every hour during the night to a nurse. Which of these actions should the nurse take?
Explain to the patient that this is due to a change in hormone levels. Palpate the patient's bladder to determine if it is distended. Encourage the patient to drink more fluids to increase the output. Have the patient save the next voiding so that the specific gravity can be checked.
