Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride to a client who has a potassium level of 5.8 mEq/L. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Inform the provider of the client's potassium level. The nurse should inform the provider because a potassium level of 5.8 mEq/L is elevated (normal range is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L) and administering potassium chloride at this level can lead to hyperkalemia, which can be life-threatening. The provider needs to assess the situation and possibly adjust the treatment plan.

Choice A is incorrect because holding the medication until the evening meal does not address the elevated potassium level.
Choice C is incorrect as increasing the dosage without provider input could worsen hyperkalemia.
Choice D is incorrect as giving the medication as prescribed without addressing the high potassium level can be harmful.
