need calcium
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 Ans- 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.
, A client arrives at the clinic in preterm labor, and terbutaline (Brethine) is prescribed. For what
therapeutic effect should the nurse monitor the client?
1increased blood pressure and pulse
2Reduction of pain in the perineal area
3Gradual cervical dilation as labor progresses
4Decreased frequency and duration of contractions Ans- 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 blood pressure and pulse, this is a side, not a therapeutic, effect requiring
frequent assessments. Terbutaline is not an analgesic. It should stop cervical dilation rather than
increase it.
