Q1. A patient with preeclampsia has been receiving an infusion containing magnesium sulfate for a blood pressure that is 160/80; deep tendon reflexes are 1 plus, and the urinary output for the past hour is 100mL. The nurse should:
Continue the infusion of magnesium sulfate while monitoring the patient's blood pressure
Stop the infusion of magnesium sulfate and contact the doctor
Slow the infusion rate and turn the patient on her left side
Administer calcium gluconate IV push and continue to monitor the blood pressure
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Continue the infusion of magnesium sulfate while monitoring the patient's blood pressure
is correct. The patient's blood pressure and urinary output are within normal limits. The only alteration from normal is the decreased deep tendon reflexes. The nurse should continue to monitor the blood pressure and check the magnesium level. The therapeutic level is 4.8-9.6mg/dL. Answers B, C, and D are incorrect. There is no need to stop the infusion now or slow the rate. Calcium gluconate is the antidote for magnesium sulfate, but there is no data to indicate toxicity.

Bright room with frequent visitors
