A multiparous client 48 hours postpartum who is breastfeeding tells the nurse, “I'm having a lot of cramping. This didn't happen when I nursed my first baby.” Which of the following would be the nurse's best response?
1. “I will notify your doctor. It's possible there are some placental fragments remaining.”
2. “I need to check your lochial flow. You may have a clot that is being dislodged.”
3. “You must have gotten a heavy dose of oxytocin. It should wear off soon.”
4. “The cramping is normal and is caused by your baby's sucking, which stimulates the release of oxytocin.”
