A woman with preeclampsia in early active phase stage I labor has been treated with magnesium sulfate, 4 g slow intravenous push, followed with a continuous infusion of magnesium sulfate, 1.5 g/hr. The patient is hyporeflexic. Despite this therapy, the patient experiences a persistent, generalized seizure.
Which one of the following interventions would be most appropriate?
Diazepam (Valium), 10 mg intravenously, slowly; repeat if necessary
Magnesium sulfate, 2 g intravenously, slowly
Phenytoin sodium (Dilantin) intravenously, at a rate not to exceed 50 mg/min or a maximum dose of 100 mg
Phenobarbital, 400-800 mg intravenously, slowly
