Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for four clients who have drainage tubes. Which of the following clients should the nurse recognize as being at risk for hypokalemia?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The client with an NG tube to suction is at risk for hypokalemia because suctioning can lead to electrolyte imbalance by removing gastric contents, including potassium. This can result in decreased potassium levels in the body, leading to hypokalemia.


Choice A (chest tube to water seal) is incorrect because it does not directly affect potassium levels.
Choice B (tracheostomy tube with humidified oxygen) is also incorrect as it does not impact potassium levels.
Choice C (indwelling urinary catheter to gravity drainage) does not involve manipulation of electrolytes.
Therefore, the correct answer is D based on the potential for potassium loss through suctioning via the NG tube.
