True or false: If the fundus is midline but boggy, the nurse should massage the fundus.

When the fundus is midline but boggy, it indicates that the uterus is not contracting effectively and may be at risk for postpartum hemorrhage. Massage of the fundus is a critical nursing intervention in this scenario. The goal of massage is to stimulate uterine contractions and help the uterus to return to its contracted state, thereby preventing excessive bleeding. Regular monitoring and prompt action when the fundus is boggy are essential for the safety of the patient in the postpartum period. This understanding underlines the importance of recognizing the signs of uterine atony and appropriately responding to maintain maternal health.
