A client who is experiencing preterm labor
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer magnesium sulfate IV to a client who is experiencing preterm labor. Which of the following is the priority nursing assessment for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Respiratory rate. The priority assessment for a client receiving magnesium sulfate IV for preterm labor is the respiratory rate because magnesium sulfate can depress the respiratory system. Monitoring the respiratory rate can help detect any signs of respiratory depression early, allowing for prompt intervention to prevent complications. Assessing fetal heart rate (
A) is important but not the priority in this situation. Temperature (
B) is not directly related to magnesium sulfate administration. Bowel sounds (
D) are not the priority assessment when administering magnesium sulfate.
