Prior to administration of the initial dose of the gastrointestinal (GI) agent misoprostol, which information should the nurse obtain from the patient?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Misoprostol can induce uterine contractions and miscarriage, making pregnancy a critical contraindication to assess before administration. Antiemetic use, aspirin allergy, and glaucoma history are less directly relevant.
