The usual dose of carboprost is 250 mcg,so this excessive dose could lead to uterine rupture.The nurse monitors the woman for signs of this and continually monitors the fetus for well-being.The provider would be notified and agency policy followed for variance reporting.Nausea,vomiting,and headache are side effects of the usual dose of the drug.This drug is excreted through urine,so monitoring urine output is important but not as critical as checking fetal well-being and notifying the provider.
