Magnesium Sulfate is a high risk medication that can be used to prevent or treat
convulsion in patients with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. When administering this
medication the nurse has a responsibility to monitor for possible complications and
take appropriate precautions. Which of the following is a precaution specific to this
medication:
A. Monitor fluid status and osmolality (not to exceed 310 mOsm/kg).
B. Keep patient recumbent after injection to prevent postural hypotension.
C. Monitor for S/S of a hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., chest pain, dizziness, dyspnea,
fever, flushing, hypotension, nausea, pruritus, rash, rigors, urticaria).
D. With each repeated dose, test patellar reflex (knee jerks) and observe respirations.
If the knee jerk is absent or if respirations are less than 16/min, do not give additional
dose.
Give this one a try later!
