Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Methylergonovine (Methergine) simulates sustained contraction of the uterus as evidenced by the tone of the uterus. The pain level, blood pressure, and voiding patterns are not related to the effectiveness of the medication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Deep vein thrombosis may cause pain on ambulation and stiffness of the affected leg. A slow gait, shuffling gait, and needing ambulatory support are common observations of the postpartum client because of weakness and discomfort of the perineum.
