A

KCL

53
Q

Nursing alert for KCL IV:

A

Never IV push
Incorporate in suloset

54
Q

DOC: Hyperkalemia antidote

A

Calcium gluconate (antidote)
-it doesn’t treat hyperkalemia but lowers HR
-Lower muscle contraction

55
Q

DOC: hyperkalemia

A

kayexelate
-na polysterone
-exchange sodium to potassium
-eliminate thru stool

56
Q

Side effect of Kayexelate

A

Hypernatremia
Effect is within 4-6 hours

57
Q

d5w + d50w = iv

A

glucose-Insulin infusion
-Increase blood sugar = decrease k
-effect: within 30 minutes
-k+ follows glucose into cells
-insulin transport glucose into cells

58
Q

pushes potassium into the cell

A

salbutamol/albuterol

59
Q

excrete potassium into urine

A

k+ wasting diuretic (furosemide/lasix)

60
Q

DOC FOR HYPERKALEMIA (SATA)

A

-kayexelate: exchange na to k
-glucose-insulin infusion: follows glucose in the cell
-salbutamol/ albuterol: pushes k into the cells
-potassium wasting diuretic (furosemide/lasix): excrete k+
-hemodialysis: eliminates excess electrolytes

61
