Evidence boundary

This is OpenStax Maternal Newborn Nursing, Chapter 16 Review Question 22, with all four choices preserved. The answer is reasoned from the textbook's terbutaline and tachysystole sections, not a claimed official answer key. Actual administration requires a clinician's order, assessment of contraindications, monitoring, and local protocol; no patient-specific dose is inferred.
