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.

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 - ANSWER-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.
