A woman who is 12 hours postpartum had a pulse rate around 80 beats per minute during pregnancy. now, the nurse finds a pulse of 60 beats per minute. which of these actions should the nurse take?

She should simply note this in the patient's documents, as it is a normal part of the postpartum response. After delivery of the infant, the mother may experience fluctuations in her pulse rate and blood volume, with a normal pulse hovering between 50 and 70 beats per minute.
