All of the above
After giving prostaglandin, the patient should be monitored by P/V for bleeding, itching, rash, convulsion, pulse and blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, and urine output. Prostaglandins can be used to induce labor or in the management of atonic postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Prostaglandin has a powerful oxytocic action, inducing contraction of uterine smooth muscle.
