A pregnant client with severe preeclampsia is receiving IV magnesium sulfate.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
What should the nurse keep at the bedside to prepare for the possibility of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
magnesium sulfate toxicity?
|| || ||
1Oxygen
, 2Naloxone
||
3Calcium gluconate ||
4Suction equipment - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔calcium gluconate
|| || || || || ||
The antagonist of magnesium sulfate is calcium gluconate. Oxygen is
|| || || || || || || || ||
ineffective if the action of magnesium is not reversed. Naloxone is
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
unnecessary; it is an opioid antagonist. Suction equipment may be necessary
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
if the client has excessive secretions after a seizure. The priority intervention
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
is trying to prevent a seizure.

3Gradual cervical dilation as labor progresses
|| || || || ||
||
4Decreased frequency and duration of contractions - CORRECT ANSWERS
|| || || || || || || ||
✔✔decreased frequency and duration of contractions
|| || || || || ||
Terbutaline sulfate (Brethine) is a β-mimetic that acts on the smooth muscles
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
of the uterus to reduce contractility, which in turn inhibits dilation and the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
frequency and duration of contractions. Although terbutaline may increase
