Cht Gpt Flashcards
patient with chronic kidney disease is admitted with cardiac arrhythmias. What is the likely potassium imbalance?
Hyperkalemia >5
A diabetic patient complains of muscle weakness and fatigue. What electrolyte imbalance might be contributing to these symptoms?
Hypokalemia <3.5
insulin therapy, increased urinary loss of potassium, and alterations in cellular potassium uptake. Symptoms such as muscle weakness and fatigue are commonly associated with hypokalemia and can result from impaired neuromuscular function.
teenager with bulimia nervosa is experiencing weakness and tingling sensations. What is the probable potassium imbalance in this patient?
Hypokalemia >3.5
postoperative patient undergoing extensive gastrointestinal surgery presents with prolonged vomiting. What electrolyte imbalance is the patient at risk for? (K)
Hypokalemia <3.5
vomiting, there is a loss of gastric fluids that contain electrolytes, including potassium.
Depletion of potassium levels in the body, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and cardiac irregularities.
elderly patient with heart failure on multiple medications, including ACE inhibitors, develops ECG changes. What is the likely potassium imbalance?
Hyperkalemia >5
A pediatric patient with severe dehydration due to gastroenteritis is admitted with altered mental status. What electrolyte imbalance is the patient at risk for? (K)
severe dehydration due to gastroenteritis, the loss of fluids often leads to an increased risk of electrolyte imbalances, including hypokalemia.
