Question 1 of 5
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: The correct answer is C: Anticipate a prescription for misoprostol. Misoprostol is a medication commonly used to manage postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony. It helps to promote uterine contractions and control bleeding. Administering betamethasone (
A) is not indicated in this situation as it is a steroid used for fetal lung maturation. Avoiding sterile vaginal examinations (
B) may delay the identification of the cause of bleeding. Obtaining a specimen for a Kleihauer-Betke test (
D) is used to determine the amount of fetal-maternal hemorrhage and is not the immediate priority in managing uterine atony.
