a) List signs of infection that she will report to her health care provider

b) The patient will show no signs of infection

c) Maintain previous household routines to prevent infection

d) Discuss methods that the woman will use to prevent infection

Answer:

(c). Maintain previous household routines to prevent infection

.

Endometrial infection is inflammation of the endometrium or walls of the uterus, as a result of infection spread from the cervix.

Basically this infection is common with afterbirth, but it can also spread form the cervix during menstruation, abortion etc. It is characterised with pains of the lower abdominal, fever, and virginal discharge.

Therefore all the options (a, b,d) are preventive and care management procedures for endometrial infection. The option C is not related to the care management, because maintenance of household routines does not have any relationship with the spread of infection through the cervix to the uterus. Had it mean it was maintenance of personal hygiene instead of household routines, then this would have been appropriate for the cure and care of the infection.
