A client is receiving carboprost to control postpartum hemorrhage. Critical nursing assessment would include all of the following except:
 
  a. urine for sugar and protein
  b. heart rate for tachycardia
  c. blood pressure for hypertension
  d. pulse oximetry for desaturation due to pul-monary and vascular constriction

Question 2

To identify the duration of a contraction, the nurse would:
 
  1. Start timing from the beginning of one contraction to the completion of the same contraction.
  2. Time between the beginning of one contraction and the beginning of the next contraction.
  3. Palpate for the strength of the contraction at its peak.
  4. Time from the beginning of the contraction to the peak of the same contraction.
