Extract:
A client with preeclampsia who is being treated with IV magnesium sulfate, respiratory rate is 10/min, deep-tendon reflexes are absent
Question 5 of 5
What action should the nurse take?

Cesarean preparation, Trendelenburg positioning, and glucose assessment are not indicated for magnesium toxicity.
