ATI real life postpartum hemorrhage Scenario Nurse Dee is preparing to assess Ms. Hodges's uterus. Question Nurse Dee is preparing to assess Ms. Hodges's uterus. Which of the following images demo... nstrates the technique she should use to palpate the fundus of the uterus? Selected Option Image of the nurse using two hands, with the upper hand over the fundus, or umbilical area, and the lower hand supporting the lower uterine segment (Text: Nurse Dee places one hand over the umbilical area and the other hand below the umbilical region to support the area she is palpating with the hand above.)
