Some nursing care that has been mentioned in the article includes the nurse should anticipate the
need for oxygen therapy and fluid and blood replacement. The nurse may also be responsible for
administering medications; for example, misoprostol (Cytotec) may be used to help in expelling
the pregnancy tissue or to control bleeding. The nurse monitors vital signs, oxygen saturation,
intake and output, and laboratory results according to institutional policies. If a patient
experiences a threatened abortion but the fetus does not die, the nurse may be responsible for
monitoring fetal heart sounds and the overall well-being of the fetus depending on gestational
age. The nurse should administer prescribed Rho (D) Immune Globulin (human) (RhoGAM) to
Rh-negative patients within 72 hours to prevent alloimmunization (an immune response to the
fetus’s blood cells).
