Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Hypotension occurs because hypermagnesemia causes vasodilation, which lowers blood pressure. Magnesium acts as a smooth muscle relaxant, decreasing vascular resistance and contributing to hypotension. This is a common clinical finding when magnesium levels exceed the normal range.

B. Tachycardia is not expected with hypermagnesemia. Elevated magnesium levels depress the heart's electrical activity, leading to bradycardia (slow heart rate) instead of tachycardia.

C. Muscle cramps are typically associated with hypomagnesemia, which increases neuromuscular excitability. In hypermagnesemia, neuromuscular function is suppressed, leading to muscle weakness rather than cramps.

D. Hyperreflexia is a symptom of hypomagnesemia, not hypermagnesemia. In hypermagnesemia, neuromuscular activity is depressed, resulting in diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes

A. "Brush teeth immediately after eating." B. "Lay down for 30 min after meals." C. "Drink 12 oz of water with each meal." D. "Eat a dry carbohydrate before getting out of bed."

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Brushing teeth immediately after eating may exacerbate nausea in some individuals. It is recommended to wait a while after eating before brushing teeth, or rinse the mouth with water.

B. Lying down after meals can worsen symptoms of nausea and reflux. Remaining upright or sitting up after meals may help alleviate symptoms.

C. Drinking large amounts of water with meals may exacerbate feelings of fullness and contribute to nausea. Sipping small amounts of fluids between meals is recommended.

D. Eating a dry carbohydrate, such as crackers or toast, before getting out of bed can help alleviate morning sickness by stabilizing blood sugar levels and absorbing stomach acid.
