38) ANSWER
B)
Furosemide (Lasix)
Explanation
Treatment
for hypermagnesemia is to promote urinary excretion of magnesium to decrease
serum levels, so a diuretic might be indicated. Laxatives and antacids often
contain magnesium, which could worsen the imbalance. Fluid restriction would be
contraindicated, because it would prevent flushing of excess magnesium from the
body. First, determine that the magnesium level is elevated. Eliminate option
1, since it is a source of magnesium. Eliminate option 4, since it would
inhibit magnesium excretion, and option 3, because it is not useful.
