Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Estrogenic drug therapy is less common than in the past because of the increased risk of thrombophlebitis. They are more effective than complementary drugs. They do not increase constipation or promote uterine atony.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
After delivery of the infant, oxytocin is given to help the uterus stay contracted and prevent uterine atony. It may be given intravenously or intramuscularly. It does not constrict the cervix. Intranasal oxytocin may be given later to enhance letdown of breast milk. Oxytocin does not suppress lactation.
