Turn off the oxytocin. Increase the oxytocin. Increase the methotrexate

Respuesta :

Answer:

Turn off the oxytocin

Explanation:

Hypertonic labor is that condition in which the contractions during the labor are very short and irregular, and the uterine walls could not relax fully between these contraction. If this condition is due to oxytocin augmentation then turning off the source of oxytocin would be effective in this case. As the case has arised due to augmentation of oxytocin so it has nothing to with turning off and on of methotrexate, increase of oxytocin would result in adverse effects for both mother and baby.
