A Decreasing the woman's activity level may alleviate the bleeding and allow the
pregnancy to continue.
B Ritodrine is not the first drug of choice for tocolytic medications.
C There is no reason for having the woman NPO. At times dehydration may
produce contractions, so hydration is important.
D Narcotic analgesia will not decrease the contractions. It may mask the severity of
the contractions.
