A nurse is planning to teach a group of newly licensed nurses about hypermagnesemia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale:

A. Choose high-fat cheese as a meat substitute: Cheese is an animal-derived product and not part of a vegan diet. Additionally, it is high in saturated fat, which can contribute to cardiovascular risk.

B. Choose foods high in vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, so vegans are at risk for deficiency. Including fortified foods or supplements helps prevent anemia and neurological complications.

C. Limit intake of foods high in vitamin C: Vitamin C-rich foods are beneficial for overall health and can improve non-heme iron absorption from plant sources. There is no reason to limit these foods in a vegan diet.

D. Limit intake of nuts and legumes: Nuts and legumes are excellent plant-based sources of protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients. Restricting them would reduce the nutritional adequacy of a vegan diet.

A. Instill erythromycin ointment into the newborn's eyes: Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment is routinely applied to all newborns to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum, a serious eye infection caused by exposure to Neisseria gonorrhoeae during birth.

B. Give oral sulfadiazine to the mother prior to delivery: Sulfonamides are not recommended for gonorrhea treatment in laboring clients and are ineffective in preventing neonatal eye infections.

C. Administer penicillin G procaine IM to the newborn: Penicillin is used to treat confirmed neonatal infections, not as a routine prophylaxis against gonococcal eye infections.

D. Apply miconazole vaginal cream to the mother prior to delivery: Miconazole is an antifungal used for vaginal yeast infections and has no effect on gonorrhea, so it is not indicated for preventing neonatal infection.
