Which medication may be used to treat postpartum hemorrhage?

b. menotropins
c. dinoprostone
d. methylergonovine - ANS :d. methylergonovine
Methylergonovine is a medication of choice used to treat postpartum hemorrhage.
Clomiphene and menotropins are ovulation stimulants given to induce ovulation in infertile
women. Dinoprostone is used to induce cervical ripening and cause termination of a
pregnancy.
Which teratogenic effect is seen because of lithium?
a. stillbirth
b. shortened limbs
c. Ebstein anomaly

d. neural tube defects - ANS :c. Ebstein anomaly
Ebstein anomaly (cardiac defects) in the newborn occurs because of taking lithium during
pregnancy. Stillbirth may occur because of alcohol use. Shortened limbs may occur because
of thalidomide. Neural tube defects are due to anti seizure medications.
Which medication may cause malformations of the male external genitalia?
a. Etretinate
b. Dutasteride
c. Methimazole
d. Propylthiouracil - ANS :b. Dutasteride
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that causes malformations of external genitalia in
males. Etretinate is a vitamin A derivative that may cause multiple CNS defects. Methimazole
and propylthiouracil are antithyroid medications that may cause goiters and hypothyroidism.
A client in active labor who is 90% effaced, 7 cm dilated with a vertex presenting at 2+ station,
complains of pain and ask for medication. Which medication with the nurse anticipate causing
respiratory depression in the newborn?
a. Naloxone
b. Lorazepam
c. Meperidine
d. Promethazine - ANS :c. Meperidine

less than 4 hours before birth.

FORM A, B, C, EXAM
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of respiratory depression in the
newborn.
Lorazepam is a sedative; it does not cause respiratory depression in the newborn, but it does
not relieve pain by itself.
Promethazine is a tranquilizer; it does not cause respiratory depression in the newborn, but
does not receive pain by itself
Which medication is used to prevent preterm labor?
a. Oxytocin
b. Nifedipine
c. Raloxifene
d. Clomiphene - ANS :b. Nifedipine
Nifedipine is used to prevent preterm labor because it inhibits myometrial activity by blocking
the influx of calcium. Oxytocin may be used to induce labor. Raloxifene is used to prevent
postmenopausal osteoporosis. Clomiphene is used to cause ovulation.
Which would the nurse identify as the most widely used off-label medication for cervical
ripening and the enhancement of uterine muscle tone?
a. Misoprostol
b. Mifepristone
c. Dinoprostone
d. Methylergonovine - ANS :a. Misoprostol
Misoprostol is the most widely used off-label medication for cervical ripening and the
enhancement of uterine muscle tone because it is relatively affordable.

FORM A, B, C, EXAM
Mifepristone is used to induce labor.
Dinoprostone is used for cervical ripening but is not an off-label medication for cervical
ripening.
Methylergonovine is used to enhance myometrial tone but is not used to augment labor.
Which medication would the nurse identify as being used to induce abortion?
a. Oxytocin
b. Mifepristone
c. Dinoprostone
d. Indomethacin - ANS :b. Mifepristone
Mifepristone is used to induce abortion.
Oxytocin is used to induce labor at full-term gestation. Oxytocin also enhances labor when
uterine contractions are weak and ineffective, which is inappropriate for abortion.
Dinoprostone is a uterine stimulant that produces labor by softening the cervix and ______
uterine muscle tone.
Indomethacin is a tocolytic medication.
Which ovulation stimulant with the nurse identify as being derived from the urine of
postmenopausal woman?
a. Oxytocin
b. Clomiphene
