A
The clinical manifestation the nurse should expect to see is hemorrhage.
Water intoxication is associated with oxytocin administration, but the scenario does not state that the patient was receiving oxytocin.
Ergot alkaloids are not recommended for use during labor.
Ergonovine actually can cause hypertension.
