Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer methylergonovine 0.2 mg orally to a client who is 2 hr. postpartum and has a boggy uterus. For which of the following assessment findings should the nurse withhold the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Methylergonovine is a medication used to help contract the uterus and control postpartum hemorrhage. One of its side effects is vasoconstriction, which can lead to increased blood pressure. The client's blood pressure of 142/92 mm Hg is elevated, and administering methylergonovine could further increase the blood pressure, potentially causing harm to the client. It is important to withhold the medication in this situation to prevent worsening of hypertension. The other assessment findings are within normal ranges and do not contraindicate the administration of methylergonovine.
