Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who is currently receiving oxytocin (Pitocin). What will the nurse anticipate as an expected outcome of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Inducing labor in full-term gestation clients. Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions and is commonly used to induce labor in full-term pregnancies. It helps to initiate and strengthen contractions to facilitate the progression of labor. This medication is not used to prevent contractions in pre-term clients (choice
B), prevent pregnancy (choice
C), or increase the amounts of eggs produced during ovulation (choice
