The patient experienced a blood loss of 900ml during childbirth resulting in fluid volume deficit and uterine atony. The nursing diagnosis was fluid volume deficit related to uterine atony. Short term goals were for the patient to understand the cause and interventions, and maintain fluid volume levels. Nursing interventions included assessing vitals, changing position frequently, discussing causative factors, providing IV fluids, and instructing bed rest. The long term goal was for the patient to monitor and correct any deficits, which was achieved after 2 days of interventions.
