ATI Capstone Class Exam Week 12 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting a client who experienced a vaginal birth 2 hours ago. The client is receiving an IV of lactated Ringer’s with 25 units of oxytocin infusing and has large rubra lochia. Vital signs include blood pressure 146/94 mm Hg, pulse 80/min, and respiratory rate 18/min. The nurse reviews the prescriptions from the provider. Which of the following prescriptions requires clarification?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Methylergonovine 0.2 mg IM now. This prescription requires clarification because methylergonovine is a uterotonic medication that can cause severe vasoconstriction, leading to increased blood pressure. Given the client's elevated blood pressure of 146/94 mm Hg, administering methylergonovine could potentially worsen hypertension and lead to adverse effects such as stroke or myocardial infarction. It is crucial to address the high blood pressure before considering the administration of methylergonovine. The other options are not immediately concerning:
A) Administering oxygen is appropriate for a client with elevated blood pressure;
B) Obtaining laboratory studies is a routine part of postpartum care to assess for coagulation abnormalities;
D) Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter is commonly done postpartum to monitor urinary output.
