Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer oxytocin to a client who is postpartum. Which of the following findings is an indication for the administration of the medication? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A, C
Rationale: The correct choices for administering oxytocin are A (flaccid uterus) and C (excess vaginal bleeding). Oxytocin is indicated to help contract the uterus, reducing bleeding and preventing postpartum hemorrhage. A flaccid uterus indicates poor uterine tone, which can lead to increased bleeding. Excess vaginal bleeding also indicates the need for oxytocin to aid in uterine contraction.
Choices B, D, and E are incorrect. Cervical laceration does not directly impact the need for oxytocin administration. Increased afterbirth cramping is a normal postpartum finding and does not necessarily require oxytocin. Increased maternal temperature is not a direct indication for oxytocin administration.
