NCLEX PN Practice Tests Practice Question

A primigravida with diabetes is admitted to the labor and delivery unit at 34 weeks gestation. Which doctor's order should the nurse question?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Brethine (terbutaline) is a tocolytic used to stop preterm labor, which is inappropriate at 34 weeks with diabetes, as delivery may be indicated. Magnesium sulfate is used for preeclampsia, Stadol is for pain, and Ancef is an antibiotic, all of which may be appropriate.
