,A nurse is administering magnesium sulfate intravenously to a client diagnosed with
hypomagnesemia. Which medication should the nurse keep readily available and
why?
A. Furosemide to increase serum magnesium level
B. Albuterol to increase gas exchange
C. Calcium gluconate to decrease the effects of magnesium
