Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hypertension can be severe and may be associated with nausea, vomiting, and headache; convulsions and death have occurred.
Nothing indicates that diabetes or a UTI is contraindicated for use of this medication.
Migraine is not a contraindication. However, methylergonovine may cause migraine because of its vasodilative effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tocolytic agents are not used to suppress preterm labor; this statement indicates that further teaching is necessary.
Tocolytic agents induce labor and abortion and control postpartum bleeding; no further teaching is needed.
