The nurse is caring for a patient who experienced prolonged rupture of membranes and long labor. The fetus became distressed so she was transferred to the operating room for a Cesarean section delivery yesterday morning. Her temperature has been trending around 100.4. She complains of lower abdominal tenderness and her lochia is rubra and foul-smelling. What complication do you suspect this patient has?
