Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the laboratory report of a client and identifies a serum potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sodium polystyrene. In this scenario, the client has hyperkalemia (serum potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L), which is a potassium imbalance that can be life-threatening. Sodium polystyrene is a medication used to lower high potassium levels by exchanging sodium ions for potassium ions in the colon, promoting potassium excretion through the stool. Lactulose (choice
A) is a laxative and would not address the hyperkalemia. Sevelamer (choice
B) is used to lower phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease, not potassium levels. Darbepoetin alfa (choice
D) is a medication used to treat anemia by stimulating red blood cell production and is not indicated for hyperkalemia.
