Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Oxytocin, when administered intranasally, stimulates the milk ejection (milk letdown) reflex. Oxytocin has uterine-stimulating properties, not antistimulating properties, on the uterus. Tocolytics have an antistimulating effect on the uterus. Oxytocin has an antidiuretic effect, which might lead to a danger of excessive fluid volume (water intoxication), and not a diuretic effect. Oxytocin is given IM during the third stage of labor to produce uterine contractions and control postpartum, and not antepartum, bleeding and hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
The administration of magnesium with the following drugs results in increased central nervous system depression: opioids (fentanyl and meperidine), sedatives (lorazepam), and analgesics.
