A All assessments are important, but those most relevant to the medication include
the fetal heart rate and maternal pulse, which tend to increase, and the maternal
blood pressure, which tends to exhibit a wide pulse pressure.
B These are important if the membranes have ruptured, but they are not relevant to
the medication.

milk increases absorption.
