The nurse palpates a multipara’s fundus immediately after delivery of the placenta and assesses that it’s boggy. The nurse massages the client’s uterus until it’s firm. Which medication would the nurse anticipate to administer if the uterus becomes boggy again
A. Rho(D) immune globulin (RhoGAM).
B. Magnesium sulfate.
C. Oxytocin (Pitocin).
D. Ibuprofen.
参考答案：C
解析：Oxytocin would be given to cause the uterus to maintain a firm contraction. When the uterus remains boggy, the myometrium isn’t contracted, and bleeding occurs at the placental attachment site. Ibuprofen has anti-inflammatory properties but doesn’t prevent a boggy uterus. RhoGAM is given to prevent Rh isoimmunization. Magnesium sulfate is given to stop preterm labor contractions because it causes the uterine smooth muscle to relax.
