In cases where a pregnant client is receiving magnesium sulfate for conditions like preeclampsia, it is important to have calcium gluconate readily available in case of magnesium toxicity.

So, the nurse should ensure that calcium gluconate is available and be prepared to administer it if needed.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has preeclampsia and is being treated with magnesium sulfate IV. The client's respiratory rate is 10/min and deep-tendon reflexes are absent. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most appropriate action for the nurse to take in this situation is to discontinue the medication infusion. The client is showing signs of magnesium sulfate toxicity, which can include respiratory depression (low respiratory rate) and absent deep-tendon reflexes. These are early signs of magnesium toxicity, and prompt action is needed to prevent further complications. Discontinuing the medication infusion will help reduce the risk of magnesium toxicity worsening. The other options are not appropriate in this situation as they do not address the immediate concern of magnesium toxicity.
