Concept Map
Fourth degree perineal
laceration
Pathophysiology
Vaginal lacerations typically occur when baby’s head passes through the vaginal canal and
is too large for the vagina to stretch around. Vaginal lacerations are graded in degrees.
First-degree vaginal laceration is the least severe; it involves skin around the Perineal skin.
First-degree lacerations don’t always require sutures and may heal on their own. Seconddegree laceration involves the Perineal muscles and often require sutures. Third-degree
tears involve the area around the Perineal muscles to the muscles around the anus. These
require surgical intervention to repair the perineum. Fourth-degree lacerations are the
most severe. These tears involve the Perineal muscles, the anal sphincter, and the tissues
around the rectum. Fourth-degree lacerations require surgical repair and take months to
heal.
Risk Factors
Delivery of a large baby
Previous pelvic surgery
Abnormal position of a baby’s head
Medications and treatments (Include nursing
considerations)
Application of ice (make sure patient does not
leave the ice on skin for too long in order to avoid
skin damage).
Taking sitz bath (Demonstrate patient how to take
a sitz bath, allow patient to do a return
demonstration or repeat instructions).
Performing perineal care (Advise patient not to
take baths in order to avoid infection and instruct
to wipe front to back.)
Topical anesthetics (Instruct patient to maintain
perineum clean prior to applying topical
anesthetic).
Oral analgesics (Instruct patient to take pain
medication as needed)
3 Nursing diagnosis (2 physiological and 1 psychosocial MUST be prioritized) and 3 prioritized Nursing
interventions for each
Risk for infection related to broken perineum tissue
-Monitor absolute neutrophil count
-Implement measures to reduce the risk for infection (Meticulous hygiene, proper fluid
intake, adequate nutritional status, initiate measures to prevent constipation)
-Routinely monitor for signs and symptoms of infection (increase in temperatures,
increased pulse, loss of appetite, increase in WBC, lethargy)
Acute pain related to trauma to perineum during labor and delivery
-Assess client for pain
-Measures to reduce pain: relaxation, ice pack, administer analgesics, corticosteroids
-Prevent constipation and straining (administer stool softeners, appropriate fluid intake
Readiness for enhanced self-health management related to choices of daily living is appropriate for
meeting goals
-Provide information that is appropriate, relevant, and timely
-Tailor information to the specific needs of individual client
-Identify the client’s level of choice in decision-making
