d. is receiving IV 0.9% NaCl at a fast rate - correct answer-B
What form of oral rehydration, bottled water or salty broth, is best suited for a patient who is
demonstrating signs of clinical dehydration?
a. Bottled water, because he is so weak that he might choke on the fluid when he swallows, and

A patient, who is 8 months pregnant, has developed eclampsia and is receiving intravenous
magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures. To determine if her infusion rate is too high, you should
regularly
