Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse is correct to suspect liver injury, because these signs and symptoms are associated with liver dysfunction.
Nothing indicates the presence of anemia or renal failure.
The symptoms are not consistent with sepsis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should anticipate the administration of ergonovine, which is indicated for vaginal bleeding. Ergonovine is indicated in patients who are unable to tolerate oxytocin or carboprost tromethamine.
Neither prostaglandin E nor clomiphene is indicated in the treatment of vaginal bleeding.
Terbutaline is not indicated in the treatment of vaginal bleeding. It is used to delay preterm labor, although it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose.
