A client with intrauterine growth retardation is admitted to the labor and delivery unit and started on an IV infusion of oxytocin (Pitocin). Which of the following is least likely to be included in her plan of care
A.Carefully titrating the oxytocin based on her pattern of labor.
B.Monitoring vital signs, including assessment of fetal well-being, every 15 to 30 minutes.
C.Allowing the client to ambulate as tolerated.
D.Helping the client use breathing exercises to manage her contractions.
参考答案:C
解析:Because the fetus is at risk for complications, frequent and close monitoring is necessary. Therefore, the client shouldn't be allowed to ambulate. Carefully titrating the oxytocin, monitoring vital signs, including fetal well-being, and assisting with breathing exercises are appropriate actions to include.
