Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Dry mouth is a common side effect of amitriptyline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant. Informing the client of potential side effects is important for their understanding and management of medication-related symptoms.

Choice B rationale:

Amitriptyline is not known to cause an increase in blood pressure. In fact, it can have a hypotensive effect.

Choice C rationale:

Weight loss is not a typical side effect of amitriptyline. It can often lead to weight gain.

Choice D rationale:

Amitriptyline can cause urinary retention rather than increased urination.

A. Tachycardia B. Flushed skin C. Polyuria D. Firm fundus

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Tachycardia (rapid heart rate) is a common early indicator of excessive blood loss. It is the body's compensatory response to decrease in circulating blood volume.

Choice B rationale:

Flushed skin is not necessarily indicative of excessive blood loss. Pallor may be more characteristic.

Choice C rationale:

Polyuria (increased urine output) is not a reliable indicator of blood loss and is not commonly associated with postpartum hemorrhage.

Choice D rationale:

A firm fundus is a positive sign and indicates the uterus is contracting appropriately. It is not indicative of excessive blood loss.
