Magnesium and DTR

Published

Its so frustrating when you are trying to learn new concepts and material and every source you use has different answers.

I think I finally got this one though, if you increase Mag, you decrease DTR, is that right? So, the pt had increased DTR, the nurse will suspect decreased mag level?????? right?????
