Which of the following medications can the nurse expect to administer?

A.

Dexamethasone.

B.

Clomid.

C.

Methotrexate.

D.

Progesterone.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid and is not used for treating ectopic pregnancy.

 

Choice B rationale

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is used to stimulate ovulation, not to treat ectopic pregnancy.

 

Choice C rationale

Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic agent that effectively stops the growth of ectopic pregnancy cells, allowing the pregnancy tissue to be reabsorbed by the body.

 

Choice D rationale

Progesterone supports pregnancy and is not used to treat ectopic pregnancy.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Umbilical cord compression typically results in variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate, not moderate variability or regular accelerations. It can lead to changes in fetal heart rate

patterns, but not regular mild contractions.

Choice B rationale

Dysfunctional labor refers to an abnormal labor pattern, including irregular uterine contractions. The described symptoms fit this condition, as they can cause mild pain and be

managed by ambulation, showers, and rest.

Choice C rationale

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the fetal membranes and amniotic fluid, leading to fever, uterine tenderness, and foul-smelling amniotic fluid, not mild contractions and moderate

variability in FHR.

Choice D rationale

Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy can cause fatigue, pallor, and shortness of breath but does not affect uterine contractions or fetal heart rate.
