Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a group of clients. The nurse should monitor which of the following clients for manifestations of hypokalemia? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,C,E

Rationale: The correct choices, A, B, C, and E, should be monitored for hypokalemia manifestations due to their respective medications. Prednisone (
A) can lead to potassium loss.
Torsemide (
B) is a loop diuretic that can cause potassium wasting. Polystyrene sulfonate (
C) is a cation-exchange resin used to treat hyperkalemia, which can lead to hypokalemia. Hydrochlorothiazide (E) is a thiazide diuretic known to deplete potassium levels.
Therefore, monitoring these clients for signs of hypokalemia is crucial.

Choices D and F are incorrect because spironolactone (
D) is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps retain potassium and is unlikely to cause hypokalemia.
Choice G is not applicable.
