1. Methylergonovine is prescribed for a woman to treat postpartum hemorrhage. Before

administration of methylergonovine, what is the priority assessment?


1. Uterine tone


2. Blood pressure


3. Amount of lochia


4. Deep tendon reflexes


Explanation -----


2. Blood pressure


Rationale: methylergobovine, and I go alkaloid comma is used to prevent or control postpartum

hemorrhage by contracting the uterus. Methylergonovine causes continuous uterine contraction

and may elevate the blood pressure. A priority assessment before the administration of the

medication is to check the blood pressure. The healthcare provider needs to be notified if

hypertension is present. Although option one, three, and four may be components of postpartum

assessment, blood pressure is related specifically to the administration of this medication.

respiratory distress syndrome. The nurse prepares to administer the medication by which route?
