The nurse is used to working on the postpartum floor taking care of women who have had normal vaginal births. today, however, the nurse has been assigned to care for women who are less than 24 hours post cesarean birth. the nurse realizes that some areas will not be assessed. what would the nurse leave out of the client assessments

The answer is perineum, usually a woman who experiences cesarean birth does not have an episiotomy though seldom this may be the case. In addition, perineum is the area among the anus and the scrotum in the male and among the anus and the vulva the labial opening to the vagina in the female. An episiotomy is a surgical process to expand the outlet of the birth canal to ease delivery of the baby and evade a sharp rip of the perineum.
