What do you think the answer is?

Per TOS, we cannot give medical advice.

Let me move this to the student assistance forum.

As above poster stated, you might want to ask your instructor.

If this is concerning you, as other poster stated, we don't allow medical advice questions - see your provider.

Or if this is an assignment, let us know what you think after reading your textbook. Give us some idea of your understanding and what the choices might be. Then we can give you some feedback on your ideas.

I don't take ob/gyn/peds until this summer, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a Nursing decision anyway.

Specializes in Community, OB, Nursery.

If they are thinking she has an infection, why have they kept her on mag? That's what I want to know.

Do let us know what you've come up with on your own. Tell us what you think and why, and we are more than willing to point you in the right direction. But someone telling you the answer isn't going to help you think like a nurse.
