ATI Capstone Class Exam Week 12 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is being treated with magnesium sulfate IV. The client’s respiratory rate is 10/min. What should the nurse do?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Discontinue the magnesium infusion.

Rationale: A respiratory rate of 10/min indicates respiratory depression, a common adverse effect of magnesium sulfate. Discontinuing the infusion is crucial to prevent further respiratory compromise and potential respiratory arrest. This action takes precedence over other interventions as it addresses the immediate risk to the client's safety.
Summary of other choices:
A: Assessing maternal blood glucose is unrelated to the client's respiratory rate and immediate need for intervention.
C: Emergency cesarean birth is not indicated based solely on the respiratory rate and magnesium sulfate administration.
D: Placing the client in Trendelenburg position is not appropriate for respiratory depression and may worsen the situation.
