Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative and has an NG tube that has drained 2,500 mL in the past 6 hr. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following electrolyte imbalances?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Decreased potassium level. Excessive drainage from the NG tube can lead to hypokalemia due to loss of potassium-rich gastric fluid. Potassium is essential for proper muscle and nerve function. Monitoring for signs of hypokalemia such as muscle weakness, cardiac dysrhythmias, and fatigue is crucial.
Incorrect choices:
A: Decreased calcium level - NG tube drainage is not directly related to calcium loss.
C: Elevated magnesium level - Excessive NG tube drainage does not typically cause elevated magnesium levels.
D: Elevated sodium level - Excessive NG tube drainage is more likely to cause hyponatremia due to loss of sodium-rich gastric fluid.
