Question 5 of 5
A nurse inadvertently infuses an IV solution containing potassium chloride too rapidly. Which of the following is an appropriate intervention advised by the physician?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rapid potassium chloride infusion risks hyperkalemia, causing cardiac arrhythmias. Insulin with dextrose shifts potassium into cells, lowering serum levels quickly and safely.

Nurses act swiftly, monitoring ECG and levels, reversing toxicity to prevent life-threatening complications like asystole.
