A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and has a new prescription for
methylergonovine for vaginal bleeding refractory to fundal massage and oxytocin. When

reviewing the client's medical history, the nurse should recognize which of the following diagnoses as a contraindication to the administration of methylergonovine?

A.

A. Justice refers to fairness and equity in the distribution of resources and the treatment of

individuals. By spending an equal amount of time with each client regardless of their background or actions, the nurse is demonstrating the principle of justice.

B. Autonomy refers to respecting the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their healthcare. While important, it does not directly relate to the nurse's equal allocation of time.

C. Nonmaleficence refers to the duty to do no harm. While relevant to nursing care, it does not directly apply to the equal distribution of time among clients.

D. Veracity refers to truthfulness and honesty in communication. While important, it does not directly relate to the allocation of time among clients.

A. Allowing the infant to suck on a pacifier during tube feedings can lead to aspiration or choking and is not recommended.

B. Placing enough formula for 12 hours in the feeding container may lead to formula spoilage and contamination, as formula should be prepared fresh for each feeding.

C. Changing the tube feeding setup every 36 hours is not typically necessary unless there are signs of contamination or malfunction. The frequency of changing the setup should be based on institutional policies and manufacturer recommendations.

D. Flushing the tube with water before and after feedings helps ensure proper hydration and prevents tube blockage. A volume of 30 mL is commonly recommended for infants.
