Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering IV calcium gluconate is the priority intervention for a client experiencing magnesium toxicity as it helps to counteract the effects of elevated magnesium levels. Magnesium toxicity can cause respiratory depression and decreased reflexes, but these are secondary concerns that can be addressed after administering the calcium gluconate. Administering an IV bolus of NS is not helpful in treating magnesium toxicity.
