Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Continued intravenous infusions of low-dose oxytocin or intramuscular injections of ergonovine or methylergonovine may be used to stimulate firm uterine contractions to reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage from an atonic uterus. Estradiol is an estrogen and is not used to treat atonic uterus. Ergotamine is used to treat migraine headaches. Egophony is a change in lung sounds characteristic of plural effusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Calcium gluconate is the antidote for magnesium sulfate and should always be available when magnesium sulfate is administered. Naloxone is an antidote for opioid drugs. Dextrose is given to treat hypoglycemia. Dopamine is given to treat hypotension.
