Orthostatic episode earlier today

Reference no: EM133700363

Question

When you bring Nina her dinner tray at 1700, she tells you she's worried about getting out of bed to walk after her orthostatic episode earlier today. What education would you need to give Nina at this time?

No worries, you can walk tomorrow. I understand that was really scary, but it's important to walk so you don't develop a blood clot. Walking will help you to urinate and shed the extra water your body retained during your pregnancy. I should call the doctor if you're that concerned and see if you need a psychiatric evaluation. Constipation can be common after delivery, and walking will help to get your bowels moving in the right direction.
