A nurse is caring for a client with preeclampsia who is receiving a magnesium sulfate
HESI RN Pharmacology V2 Exam &
Study Guide 2024/2025
Rationale: Magnesium sulfate is effective in preventing seizures (eclampsia) if diuresis occurs within
24 to 48 hours of the start of the infusion. As part of the therapeutic response, renal perfusion is
increased and the client is free of visual disturbances, headache, epigastric pain, clonus (the rapid
rhythmic jerking motion of the foot that occurs when the client’s lower leg is supported and the foot is
sharply dorsiflexed), and seizure activity. Hyperreflexia indicates cerebral irritability. Clonus is
normally not present. The therapeutic magnesium level is 4 to 8 mg/dL. Reflexes range from 1+ to
2+ but should not be absent.
Rationale: Calcium gluconate is the antidote to magnesium sulfate because it antagonizes the
effects of magnesium at the neuromuscular junction. It should be readily available whenever
magnesium is administered. Vitamin K is the antidote in cases of hemorrhage induced by the
administration of oral anticoagulants such as warfarin sodium (Coumadin). Protamine sulfate is the
infusion toprevent eclampsia. Which finding indicates to the nurse that the medication is
effective?
E. Clonus is present. Incorrect
F. Magnesium level is 10 mg/dL.
G. Deep tendon reflexes are absent.
H. The client experiences diuresis within 24 to 48 hours. Correct
A client with preeclampsia who is receiving magnesium sulfate in an intravenous infusion
exhibitssigns of magnesium toxicity. The nurse immediately prepares for the administration
of:
I. Vitamin K
J. Protamine sulfate Incorrect
K. Calcium gluconate Correct
L. Naloxone hydrochloride
