Solution

The normal findings for a postpartum assessment 2 days after a vaginal delivery would be:

A. Fundic height at 1 cm above the umbilicus - This is incorrect. The fundus (top of the uterus) typically descends 1 cm per day after delivery. Therefore, 2 days after delivery, the fundus should be approximately 2 cm below the umbilicus.

B. Some feeling of after pains - This is correct. Afterpains are cramps caused by the uterus contracting back to its pre-pregnancy size. They are more common in women who have had previous pregnancies.

C. Voiding frequently, 50-75 mL per episode of voiding - This is incorrect. After delivery, the body gets rid of the extra fluid it had during pregnancy, which can lead to frequent urination. However, the volume of urine per void should be more than 50-75 mL.

D. Pinkish to brownish vaginal discharge - This is correct. After delivery, it's normal to have lochia, a discharge that starts out heavy and red and gradually lightens in color and volume. Two days after delivery, it would be normal for the lochia to be pinkish to brownish.

So, the expected normal findings would be some feeling of after pains and pinkish to brownish vaginal discharge.
