Final answer:
The nurse should anticipate administering calcium gluconate if the client developed magnesium toxicity.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a client develops magnesium toxicity while being treated for preeclampsia with IV magnesium sulfate, the nurse should anticipate administering Calcium gluconate as treatment for magnesium toxicity. Calcium gluconate is given to counteract the effects of magnesium sulfate and prevent further toxicity.
Magnesium toxicity can occur in clients who are receiving high doses of magnesium sulfate. Symptoms of magnesium toxicity include flushing, sweating, hypotension, weak or absent deep tendon reflexes, respiratory depression, and cardiac dysrhythmias. Administration of calcium gluconate will help to reverse the effects of magnesium toxicity and stabilize the client.
Hydralazine, Oxytocin, and Nifedipine are not typically used to treat magnesium toxicity.
