A nurse is assessing a neonate who was exposed to heroin in utero. Which of me following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the neonate is experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome?

When a medication error occurs, the nurse should report the incident to the nurse manager or appropriate supervisor. It is essential to follow the facility's policies and procedures for reporting and managing medication errors. Prompt reporting allows for appropriate investigation, documentation, and implementation of necessary measures to prevent future errors.

Documenting that the pharmacy sent the incorrect medication (B) is not appropriate in this situation, as it does not address the nurse's role and responsibility in the error. Reporting the incident is the primary action required.

Contacting the provider to change the client's prescription (C) is not necessary in this case, as the error was related to the medication selection during administration, not an issue with the prescription itself.

Placing the unwrapped celecoxib back into the AMDS (D) is not appropriate. Once a medication has been removed from its packaging or container, it should not be returned to the dispensing system. Additionally, since it was the wrong medication for the client, it should not be administered.

Therefore, the nurse should primarily report the incident to the nurse manager or appropriate supervisor to ensure appropriate handling of the medication error.

A client with a magnesium level of 3.2 mEq/L has a higher-than-normal magnesium level, indicating hypermagnesemia. The nurse should expect to administer calcium gluconate.

Calcium gluconate is the antidote for hypermagnesemia, as it works to antagonize the effects of magnesium on the body. By administering calcium gluconate, the nurse can help counteract the effects of excess magnesium and normalize the client's magnesium levels.

Let's go through the other options:

B. Calcitonin: Calcitonin is not used to treat hypermagnesemia. Calcitonin is a hormone that regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. It is used in certain conditions, such as hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), but it is not indicated for hypermagnesemia.

C. Magnesium oxide: Magnesium oxide is a form of magnesium supplement, and it is not appropriate for a client with hypermagnesemia, as it would further increase the magnesium level, exacerbating the condition.

D. Magnesium sulphate: Magnesium sulfate is also not appropriate for a client with hypermagnesemia, as it would further elevate the magnesium levels in the body. Magnesium sulfate is often used to treat magnesium deficiency or as a tocolytic agent to prevent premature labor.
