A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 hr postpartum and has uterine atony. The client is exhibiting a large amount of vaginal bleeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C. Anticipate a prescription for misoprostol.
Rationale: Misoprostol is a medication that helps to induce uterine contractions, which can help control postpartum bleeding due to uterine atony. It is a common pharmacological intervention for this situation.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Administering betamethasone IM is not indicated for postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony. This medication is typically used for fetal lung maturation in preterm labor.
B: Avoiding performing sterile vaginal examinations does not address the primary concern of uterine atony and postpartum bleeding. Assessing the uterus and bleeding are crucial in this situation.
D: Obtaining a specimen for a Kleihauer-Betke test is used to determine the amount of fetal-maternal hemorrhage in Rh-negative women. While important in some situations, it is not the priority in managing postpartum hemorrhage.
