What is hypermagnesemia, and what are the key concepts the NCLEX wants RN nursing students and LPN students to know about fluid and electrolyte imbalances?
Hypermagnesemia is fancy words for high magnesium in the blood, or high blood serum magnesium. Normal magnesium levels range from 1.5 - 2.5 mEq/dL according to the NCLEX (NCSBN boards). Magnesium is an electrolyte that helps mellow out the muscles, therefore electrolyte imbalances like hypermagnesemia lead to the unique signs and symptoms of flaccid paralysis, muscle weakness, decreased DTRs (deep tendon reflexes), reduced respirations, low blood pressure and very slow heart rate (bradycardia).
This video is part of a 12 video fluid and electrolytes series to help registered nurse RN students and LPN students with electrolyte imbalance memorization tricks. In this video Michael Linares, RN from Simple Nursing helps pinpoint the exact causes and treatments for hypermagnesemia, which is expected to know for the NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams.
