Hi,
Answer:
The nurse would question giving a dose of misoprostol to the young adult client if the client is pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Misoprostol is contraindicated during pregnancy due to its potential to cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage or other pregnancy complications. It is important for the nurse to assess the client's pregnancy status and ensure that they are not pregnant before administering misoprostol. If the client is pregnant or there is a possibility of pregnancy, alternative medications or treatment options should be considered in consultation with the healthcare provider.
