When caring for a client in the third stage of labor, the nurse notices that the expulsion of the placenta has not occurred within 5 minutes after birth of the infant. what should the nurse do?

The third stage of labor is the period that follows the completion of the delivery of the baby. At this stage, the uterus still contract pushing the placenta out. However, if it does not goes out after 5 minutes, certain measures should be done to remove the placenta. One method is to get it by hand. Also, medications can be used to make the uterus contract more. Another method would be that you will be encourage to urinate more often.

Ithink the correct answer would be that since the disease is passed by a hand shake and can be cured with antibiotics that it could be an infection. an example could be that once when i was working in a bush camp, i got blood poisoning from blood blisters that got infected. our cook did not wash his hands after going to the bathroom and he passed staphyloccus on to the crew he fed. one other person also got a bad similar infection on the side of his face. i had to be rescued by helicopter and taken to the hospital so i wouldn't die!
