<span>Magnesium sulfate is a drug for preeclampsia. This drug can be dangerous as it could cause respiratory paralysis. In this case, the patient shows several symptoms of </span>magnesium sulfate toxicity such as reduced respiratory rate(10 breaths/minute), decreased tendon reflex(deep tendon reflexes of +1) and decreased urine output(<span>20 ml/ hour).

The action that needs to be done in magnesium sulfate toxicity is stopping magnesium infusion and prepare for the antidote, calcium gluconate.</span>

Answer:

Stop the magnesium sulfate infusion.

Explanation:

The patient shown above shows magnesium sulfate toxicity so infusion of this element should be discontinued. In addition, magnesium sulfate should not be used in patients with the physical conditions shown in the above question such as poor and insufficient respiratory rate, urinary output and weak and minute reflexes.

Magnesium sulphate is indicated for replacement of magnesium levels in the treatment of hypomagnesemia, cerebral edema, eclampsia, seizure control in acute uremia, uterine tetany, control of cardiac arrhythmias and barium poisoning, but should be discontinued when patient shows signs of toxicity or exhibits the symptoms shown above.

What are the building blocks (subunits)of each biomolecule?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>The four biological macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acid. These macromolecules are known as polymers and are built when monomers join together by a process known as the dehydration reaction. The dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction that produces water (H2O) and the result is the covalent bonding of the two monomer molecules. The monomer molecules consist of nutrients found in the soil, as in the case of plants, and the intake of food as in the case of animals.
