A nurse is providing education to a client who is scheduled for a left knee arthroplasty. Which of the following statements regarding informed consent indicates client understanding of the teaching?

Choice A reason: Calcium gluconate IV reverses magnesium sulfate toxicity, which causes respiratory depression or arrhythmias due to excessive magnesium. Calcium restores neuromuscular and cardiac function by competing with magnesium, preventing life-threatening complications like respiratory arrest in preeclampsia management.
Choice B reason: Positioning supine is inappropriate, as it does not address magnesium toxicity and may worsen respiration in preeclampsia. Semi-Fowler’s position optimizes breathing, while toxicity requires pharmacological reversal with calcium gluconate, not positional changes, to manage life-threatening symptoms effectively.
Choice C reason: IV dextrose is irrelevant for magnesium toxicity, which affects neuromuscular function, not glucose levels. Dextrose treats hypoglycemia, not applicable here. Magnesium overdose requires calcium to counteract effects, making dextrose an ineffective intervention in preeclampsia-related toxicity management.
Choice D reason: Methylergonovine, a uterotonic, is contraindicated in preeclampsia, as it increases blood pressure, risking hypertensive crisis. It treats postpartum hemorrhage, not magnesium toxicity, which requires calcium gluconate to reverse neuromuscular depression, ensuring safety in preeclampsia management.

Choice A reason: Routine health screenings are part of secondary prevention, focusing on early detection of diseases before symptoms appear. Tertiary prevention addresses management after diagnosis, so this action is misaligned with the phase, making it incorrect for the workshop content.
Choice B reason: Administering vaccinations is primary prevention, aimed at preventing diseases before they occur. Tertiary prevention involves managing existing conditions, so vaccinations do not fit this phase, making this an incorrect choice for interprofessional care focus.
Choice C reason: Developing a rehabilitation plan post-stroke is tertiary prevention, as it minimizes disability and improves function after a disease event. This collaborative effort involves multiple disciplines (e.g., PT, OT), aligning with interprofessional care goals, making it the correct choice.
Choice D reason: Educating about healthy lifestyles is primary prevention, promoting health to prevent disease onset. Tertiary prevention focuses on managing established conditions, so this action is incorrect for the tertiary phase in interprofessional collaboration.
