Misoprostol can induce uterine contractions. Clients of childbearing age must rule out pregnancy
before taking misoprostol.
---
Misoprostol tends to cause diarrhea rather than constipation.

heal and reduces the risk of new ulcer development.

when taking misoprostol.
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 28 weeks of gestation. The client asks the nurse to explain
what causes her to have constipation. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
"Estrogen levels decrease during pregnancy, causing the stool to become hardened."
"Decreased water absorption in the intestine during pregnancy causes constipation."
"The intestine absorbs iron less efficiently during pregnancy, leading to constipation."
"The enlarged uterus compresses the intestines and causes constipation." –
Correct Answer :"The enlarged uterus compresses the intestines and causes constipation."
During the second and third trimesters, the size and weight of the growing uterus cause both
displacement and compression of the intestines. These changes cause a decrease in motility,
leading to constipation.
---
Estrogen and progesterone levels increase during pregnancy, leading to decreased peristalsis
and relaxation of the smooth muscles of the intestine, which can result in constipation.

the nurse should elevate the client's leg to reduce edema and pain. However, there is another
finding that is the priority.
The client is at risk for skin breakdown caused by a wet cast so the nurse should make sure the
cast is completely dry to reduce the risk of skin breakdown. A fiberglass cast is waterproof, and
water will not affect the integrity of the cast. However, there is another finding that is the
priority.
