Stop of Pitocin infusion
Perform a vaginal examination
Reposition the client
Check the client’s blood pressure and heart rate
Administer oxygen by face mask at 8 to 10 L/min

If uterine hypertonicity occurs. the nurse immediately will intervene to reduce uterine activity and increase fetal oxygenation. The nurse would stop the Pitocin infusion and increase the rate of the nonadditive solution. check maternal BP for hyper or hypotension. position the woman in a side-lying position. and administer oxygen by snug face mask at 8-10 L/min. The nurse then would attempt to determine the cause of the uterine hypertonicity and perform a vaginal exam to check for prolapsed cord.
