When planning care for a client who has undergone an episiotomy, it would be important to include a goal that addresses the need for pain relief of the:
1. Mons pubis.
2. Perineum.
3. Labia minora.
4. Hymen.
2
Rationale:
1. The mons pubis refers to the soft mound overlying the pubic bone, and is not involved in an episiotomy.
2. The perineum is the superficial area between the anus and vagina, and this tissue is often the site of an episiotomy or lacerations during childbirth.
3. The labia minora are the inner folds of the vagina, and are not cut in an episiotomy.
4. The hymen, if present, is a thin elastic collar of tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening; it is not cut in an episiotomy.
