Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has hypermagnesemia. Which of the following medications should the nurse prepare to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Calcium gluconate. In hypermagnesemia, there is an excess of magnesium in the blood, which can lead to muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory depression. Calcium gluconate is the antidote for hypermagnesemia as it antagonizes the effects of magnesium on the heart and neuromuscular system, helping to restore normal function. Flumazenil (
B) is used for benzodiazepine overdose, Protamine sulfate (
C) for heparin overdose, and Acetylcysteine (
D) for acetaminophen overdose.
