Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is taking a glucocorticoid. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse the client is experiencing hypokalemia? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,E

Rationale: The correct answers are A (Muscle weakness) and E (Fatigue) indicating hypokalemia in a client taking glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids can lead to potassium loss, causing low levels in the body. Muscle weakness is a common symptom of hypokalemia due to impaired muscle function. Fatigue is also a sign as potassium is essential for energy production.

Choices B and C are more indicative of hyperkalemia rather than hypokalemia. Hyperactive bowel sounds and tingling of fingers are not typically associated with hypokalemia.
Choice D, peaked T waves on ECG, is a sign of hyperkalemia, not hypokalemia.
