Magnesium

Magnesium toxicity is the rationale. If someone is on mag they need to be followed closely, we generally keep them in the PACU and do mag notes every 2 hours.
 
Same here. Eventhough nurses do their own documentation of S/S of mag toxicity, a resident is required to to a Mag Note every 2 hours and the patient is kept on Mag protocol (vitals, I/O frequency, etc).
 
Just to let you know this is not how it is once you are a attending RN do hourly vitals and you get called if there is a problem. Obviously you write a note with worsening conditions or need for change in plans. perhaps q 8 hr notes mild q 4-6 hrs severe... Residency you 'll see is making you do a bunch of un-needed stuff to help you learn. Following severe preeclamspsia warrants close attention calling to check on patients is what I do...
