Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with a current blood potassium level of 5.4 mEq/L (3.5-5 mEq/L). Which finding would this client have?

Correct Answer: D

A) is more commonly associated with hypokalemia. Polyuria (
B) is not typically a symptom of hyperkalemia. An EKG with a U wave (
