Correct Answers
Question 1:
The nurse caring for a client reviews the medical record and determines the
client is at risk for developing a potassium deficit because of which situation?
A. History of Addison's disease.
B. Has sustained tissue damage.
C. Uric acid level of 9.4 mg/dL.
D. Requires nasogastric suction.
Show correct answer and explanation
Explanation
Nasogastric suction removes gastric secretions that contain potassium, leading
to a loss of potassium from the body. This can cause hypokalemia, which is a low
level of potassium in the blood.
Choice A is wrong because Addison’s disease causes hyperkalemia, which is a
high level of potassium in the blood.
Choice B is wrong because tissue damage can release potassium from the cells
into the blood, causing hyperkalemia.
Choice C is wrong because uric acid level is not related to potassium level.
Uric acid is a waste product of purine metabolism that can cause gout or kidney
stones if elevated.
