Question 1 of 5
A client is prescribed milk of magnesia. After reviewing the client's lab results, which potential electrolyte imbalance is the nurse concerned about?

A) is low sodium, not related to milk of magnesia. Hypokalemia (
C) is low potassium, not directly affected by milk of magnesia. Hypercalcemia (
