Choice D (12 to 16 ounces of fish every month) is also inadequate as the frequency is not sufficient for optimal fetal development. Therefore, choice C is the best option for ensuring adequate nutrient intake while minimizing risks associated with mercury consumption.

C: Suboptimal posture - Self-awareness promotes optimal posture by making adjustments. D: Back pain - Proper postural adjustments can alleviate back pain, not cause it.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving Iv magnesium sulfate which of the following medication should the nurse anticipate administering if magnesium sulfate toxicity is suspected?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Calcium gluconate. In cases of magnesium sulfate toxicity, calcium gluconate is administered as an antidote due to its ability to counteract the effects of magnesium. Magnesium and calcium ions have an antagonistic relationship in the body, so administering calcium gluconate can help reverse the toxic effects of magnesium. Nifedipine (A), Pyridoxine (B), and Ferrous sulfate (C) do not have a direct antidote effect on magnesium toxicity and are not indicated for this purpose.
