Question 3 of 5

Methylergonovine maleate is prescribed for a woman who has just delivered a healthy newborn. Which is the priority assessment to complete before administering the medication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Methylergonovine maleate, an oxytocic, is an agent used to prevent or control postpartum hemorrhage by contracting the uterus. The immediate dose is administered intramuscularly, and then, if still needed, it is administered orally. It causes uterine contractions and may elevate the blood pressure. A priority assessment before administration of methylergonovine maleate is blood pressure. Methylergonovine maleate is to be administered cautiously in the presence of hypertension, and the primary health care provider should be notified if hypertension is present. Options 1 and 2 are general components of care in the postpartum period. Option 4 is most specifically related to the administration of magnesium sulfate.
