Question

The nurse, assessing the lochia of a client, attempts to separate a clot and identifies the presence of tissue. which observation would indicate the presence of tissue

Answer 1

Hey there,
Difficult to separate clots
If tissue is identified in the lochia, it is difficult to separate clots. Yellowish white lochia indicates increased leukocytes and decreased fluid content. Easily separable lochia indicates the presence of clots only. Foul-smelling lochia indicates endometritis.

Hope this helps :))

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: Difficult to separate clots

The clot will be difficult to be separated if there is a tissue present. Yellow colored lochia just telling that there is some white blood cell and the fluid is decreased. Foul smell telling there might be an infection in the uterus called endometritis.
