Feedback
A Hypotension is not a common side effect of oxytocin.
B The uterus may contract more firmly, and the resting tone may be increased with
oxytocin use. This response reduces entrance of freshly oxygenated maternal
blood into the intervillous spaces, depleting fetal oxygen reserves.
C All laboring women are at risk for fluid volume deficit; oxytocin administration
does not increase the risk.
D Oxytocin affects the uterine muscles.
