A nurse is administering magnesium sulfate IV to a client with severe preeclampsia for seizure prophylaxis. Which of the following are indications of magnesium sulfate toxicity? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A rationale
Limiting noise and interruption in the delivery room can help create a calm environment, which can be beneficial for both the mother and the newborn. However, this is not the priority action for promoting maternal-infant bonding.
Choice B rationale
Encouraging parents to touch and explore the neonate’s features can help foster a connection between the parents and the newborn. This tactile stimulation can also be comforting for the newborn. However, this is not the most immediate action to promote maternal-infant bonding.
Choice C rationale
Placing the neonate skin-to-skin on the client’s chest is the priority action. Skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth helps regulate the newborn’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing. It also promotes breastfeeding and bonding.
Choice D rationale
Placing the neonate at the client’s breast can promote breastfeeding, which can enhance maternal-infant bonding. However, this is not the first action to take. The priority is to establish skin-to-skin contact.

Choice A rationale
The statement “I only need to catheterize myself twice every day” should alert the nurse to the need for further education. Individuals with spina bifida who are paralyzed from the waist down often need to perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) every 3-4 hours to empty the bladder and prevent urinary tract infections.
Choice B rationale
Using a suppository every night to have a bowel movement is a common practice among individuals with spina bifida. Due to the paralysis, they often have difficulty with bowel movements and may use suppositories or other methods to stimulate bowel movements.
Choice C rationale
Doing wheelchair exercises while watching TV is a good practice for individuals with spina bifida. Regular physical activity can help improve strength, flexibility, and overall health.
Choice D rationale
Carrying a water bottle and drinking a lot of water is a good practice for individuals with spina bifida. Adequate hydration can help prevent urinary tract infections and kidney stones, which are common complications in individuals who perform CIC78910.
