ANS: D
The infusion rate is not increased or may be decreased if the maternal pulse rate remains over 120 beats/min (bpm). A maximum dose of 0.1 mg is above the recommended maximum rate, systolic blood pressure below 110 mm Hg may be a normal finding for this client, and the medication should continue to be increased until the maximum level is reached or contractions stop.
