Free BCEN Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) Practice Question
During a flight transport of a pregnant patient experiencing seizures due to eclampsia, which medication is most appropriate to administer to manage the condition?
Magnesium sulfate is the first-line treatment for eclampsia-associated seizures during pregnancy. It has been proven to be effective in controlling seizures and preventing recurrence. It is important to differentiate this from other medications like diazepam and lorazepam, which are used for general seizure control but are not the primary drugs of choice for eclampsia.
