Question 2.
A 26-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 client is admitted to the hospital at 28-
weeks gestation in preterm labor. She is given 3 doses of terbutaline sulfate
(Brethine) 0.25 mg subcutaneously to stop her labor contractions. The nurse
plans to monitor for which primary side effect of terbutaline sulfate?
Ans: Tachycardia and a feeling of nervousness
Terbutaline sulfate (Brethine), a beta-sympathomimetic drug, stimulates beta-adrenergic
receptors in the uterine muscle to stop contractions. The beta-adrenergic agonist
properties of the drug may cause tachycardia, increased cardiac output, restlessness,
headache, and a feeling of "nervousness".
Question 3.
When do the anterior and posterior fontanels close?
Ans: anterior fontanel closes at 12 to 18 months and the posterior by the
end of the second month.
