Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

  • A. Temperature 37.4°C (99.3°F).
  • B. Uterine tenderness.
  • C. WBC Count 9,000/mm.
  • D. Scant lochia.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Uterine tenderness is a common finding in endometritis due to uterine inflammation or infection. A temperature of 37.4°C is normal, a WBC count of 9,000/mm³ is not elevated as expected in infection, and scant lochia is normal, not indicative of endometritis.
