Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pitocin is a medication commonly used to induce or augment labor by stimulating uterine contractions. It is critical for the nurse to monitor the client closely for potential adverse effects. Fetal distress is a serious concern when Pitocin is being administered. A fetal heart rate of 180 beats per minute without variability may indicate fetal distress due to uteroplacental insufficiency. This is a sign of fetal hypoxia and warrants immediate intervention, including stopping the infusion of Pitocin, repositioning the mother, administering oxygen, and notifying the healthcare provider. It is crucial for the nurse to act promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of both the fetus and the mother.

Which postpartum client requires further assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The postpartum client who requires further assessment is the G4P4 who had 4 saturated pads during the last 12 hours. This indicates excessive postpartum bleeding, which is abnormal and could potentially be a sign of postpartum hemorrhage.

Prompt intervention and medical attention may be necessary to address the postpartum hemorrhage and ensure the client's safety and well-being.
