While assessing the fundus of a multiparous client on the first postpartum day, the nurse performs hand washing and puts on clean gloves. Which of the following should the nurse do next?

1. Place the nondominant hand above the symphysis pubis and the dominant hand at the umbilicus.

2. Ask the client to assume a side-lying position with the knees flexed.

3. Perform massage vigorously at the level of the umbilicus if the fundus feels boggy.

4. Place the client on a bedpan in case the uterine palpation stimulates the client to void.
