When administering magnesium sulfate to a pregnant client with pre-eclampsia, the nurse must assess the client's level of consciousness, deep tendon reflexes, urine output, and magnesium level regularly to detect any adverse effects such as magnesium toxicity. Neuromuscular depression is a known side effect of magnesium sulfate, but it is not a condition that requires assessment during administration.
