Answer to Question 1

B
Vaginal bleeding is a classic manifestation of endometrial cancer. Pelvic pressure and fullness, dyspareunia, and enlargement of the uterus are not manifestations of endometrial cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Calcium gluconate

If magnesium toxicity is suspected, the infusion should be discontinued immediately. Calcium gluconate, the antidote for magnesium sulfate, may also be ordered and given by slow IV push over at least 3 minutes (usually by the physician) to prevent undesirable reactions such as arrhythmias, bradycardia, and ventricular fibrillation.
