Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has hypertension and has a potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Obtain a 12-lead ECG. A potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L indicates hyperkalemia, which can lead to serious cardiac arrhythmias.
Therefore, obtaining an ECG is crucial to assess for any potential cardiac abnormalities.
Choice B is incorrect as salt substitutes often contain potassium, exacerbating the issue.
Choice C is incorrect as citrus juices and bananas are high in potassium, which should be avoided in hyperkalemia.
