Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Methylergonovine is an ergot alkaloid that is given following delivery to treat postpartum hemorrhage. It acts by vasoconstricting arterioles and directly stimulating uterine muscle contractions. Blood pressure may increase, but this is not the intended therapeutic effect. Decreased pulse rate and increased urine output are unrelated to the effects of this medication.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: The nurse needs to stress the importance of immunizations, dental hygiene, and rou-tine well-child care. If my child gets a cut, I should hold pressure on it until the bleeding stops. I should check the house and remove any household items that can easily fall over. and I should move furniture with sharp corners out of the way and pad the corners of the furniture. are appropriate care measures. The mother is instructed regarding actions in the event of blunt trauma, especially trauma involving the joints, and is told to apply prolonged pressure to superfi-cial wounds until the bleeding has stopped.
