Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Variable decelerations are often caused by umbilical cord compression. Repositioning the client can help alleviate pressure on the cord and improve fetal oxygenation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Contractions that are too frequent or prolonged can lead to uterine hyperstimulation, which can compromise fetal oxygenation. The nurse should stop the oxytocin infusion to reduce contraction frequency and intensity.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hypotension is a key indicator of decreased cardiac output, especially in the context of postpartum hemorrhage, which can lead to significant fluid volume loss and compromise perfusion.

Correct Answer: B

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Raloxiphine (Evista) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used primarily to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It helps to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures by mimicking the effects of estrogen on bone tissue. It is not indicated for the treatment of migraines, hypertension, or heart disease.
