Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to provide an in-service to the community about misoprostol (Cytotec). Which of the following statements should the nurse include in her teaching to the community?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: This medication is contraindicated for female clients expecting a child or are currently pregnant. Misoprostol is contraindicated during pregnancy as it can cause uterine contractions leading to miscarriage or premature birth. It is important for the nurse to include this information in the teaching to ensure the safety of pregnant individuals.
Choice A is incorrect because misoprostol is primarily used to prevent gastric ulcers, not duodenal ulcers.
Choice B is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, misoprostol is contraindicated in pregnant individuals.
Choice D is incorrect because misoprostol is not typically used to prevent stress-induced ulcers. It is important for the nurse to provide accurate information to the community to ensure safe and effective use of medications.
