Question 1 of 5

A patient in early labor is receiving oxytocin and begins to experience tachysystolic or tetanic contractions with variable fetal heart decelerations. What should the nurse do next?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Discontinuing the oxytocin infusion is the correct action. Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions during labor. If a patient begins to experience tachysystolic or tetanic contractions, which are excessively frequent or prolonged contractions, it could lead to fetal distress. Discontinuing the oxytocin can help reduce the frequency and intensity of the contractions.
