What is Oxytocin: Nursing Responsibilities and Uses about?

Oxytocin is an oxytocic agent used to induce or stimulate labor, reduce postpartum bleeding, and for incomplete or elective abortions. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Common adverse effects include hypertension, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, and anoxia in the newborn. Nursing responsibilities when administering oxytocin include monitoring vital signs, especially blood pressure and heart rate, and watching for signs of heart failure or other complications.
