The nursing diagnosis is fluid volume deficit due to postpartum bleeding. Short term goals are for the client to maintain normal fluid volume and vital signs. Nursing interventions include assessing lochia flow and vital signs every 2 hours, administering IV fluids as needed, monitoring lab results, and teaching perineal care. The expected outcome is stabilization of vital signs and lab results within a week, with the client understanding postpartum care.
