The healthcare provider will prescribe oxytocin to the client for whom the LPN has reported that the uterine massage is ineffective.
The reason to provide oxytocin in case of the ineffectiveness of the uterine massage is it plays a major role in the contraction of the uterus during pregnancy. The two main effects of oxytocin in the body are contractions of the uterus (uterus) during childbirth and breastfeeding. Manufactured oxytocin is sometimes administered to induce labor if it has not started spontaneously, or it can be used to increase labor to aid delivery. Commonly manufactured oxytocin is given to hasten labor and reduce the risk of heavy bleeding from contractions.
