Answer 1

Two nursing actions for Hypotonic Uterine Contractions are administering oxytocin and encouraging ambulation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two nursing actions for Hypotonic Uterine Contractions (aka Uterine Inertia) are:

1. Administer oxytocin: Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions. Administering oxytocin can help increase the strength and frequency of contractions in cases of weak contractions.
