Hyperkalemia.
Explanation:
The nurse is caring for Hyperkalemia is a common complication of
a patient in acute acute renal failure. It is life-threatening if
renal failure. The immediate action isn't taken to reverse it. The
nurse should expect administration of glucose and regular
hypertonic glucose, insulin, with sodium bicarbonate if necessary,
insulin infusions, and can temporarily prevent cardiac arrest by
sodium bicarbonate moving potassium into the cells and temporarily
to be used to treat: reducing serum potassium levels.
Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and
hypercalcemia don't usually occur with acute
renal failure and aren't treated with glucose,
insulin, or sodium bicarbonate.
