Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Cervidil (dinoprostone) is a medication used to ripen the cervix in preparation for labor induction in women who are at or near term.

Cervidil contains a synthetic form of prostaglandin E2, which helps to soften and thin the cervix, making it easier to dilate and efface during labor. The medication is usually administered vaginally, in the form of a small, flat, rectangular-shaped insert that is placed near the cervix.

The medication is released slowly over time, helping to ripen the cervix gradually.

Cervidil is not used to stimulate the amniotic membranes to rupture, enhance uteroplacental perfusion in an aging placenta, or increase amniotic fluid volume.

A. Your respiratory rate may slow down, so make sure to monitor your breathing rate! B. You will most likely be hospitalized until delivery while on your medication C. You should try to get up slowly and drink plenty of fluids D. You will stop this medication at 28 weeks.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that can cause hypotension as a side effect, so the client should be advised to rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness or fainting. The client does not necessarily need to be hospitalized and should continue taking the medication until a healthcare provider advises otherwise. The medication is typically continued until around 36-37 weeks gestation. There is no need to monitor respiratory rate with this medication.
