ANS: A
Uterine stimulants, primarily oxytocin, given in low-dose infusions after delivery of the fetus and placenta, help stimulate firm uterine contractions to reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage from an atonic uterus. Magnesium sulfate is given to treat eclampsia and preeclampsia. Vitamin K is given to prevent hemorrhage. Dopamine is given to treat hypotension.
