Complications of Intravenous therapy

Complications of Intravenous therapy ( 39 Questions)

A client with chronic kidney disease is receiving IV therapy with a potassium-containing solution. The nurse should carefully monitor the client for which complication?


Correct Answer: B

A) This choice is incorrect because receiving a potassium-containing solution is not associated with hypokalemia, but rather with the risk of hyperkalemia due to the increased potassium intake.

B) This choice is correct. Clients with chronic kidney disease are at risk of hyperkalemia, and receiving a potassium-containing solution through IV therapy can further elevate potassium levels.

C) This choice is incorrect because IV therapy with a potassium-containing solution is not related to hypocalcemia.

D) This choice is incorrect because IV therapy with a potassium-containing solution is not associated with hyponatremia.
