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.
