The nurse is reviewing the laboratory data for a young client in acute kidney failure and notes an elevated serum potassium level. what is the priority assessment action for the nurse based on the laboratory data?

The nurse should check for abnormal cardiac rhythm using ECG

Elevated serum potassium level is called hyperkalemia. In this condition, the heart rhythm can be disrupted, resulting in an arrhythmia. arrhythmia condition can be dangerous as the heart is not pumping in a coordinated way, lowering the pump efficiency and have a high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
That is why hyperkalemia condition is dangerous and need to be monitored.

1. when the tempature rises,your sweat glands and then springs into action making perspiration. some sweat evaporates with your skin taling heat with it.2.some of the blood pumped by the heart travels by your lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen.3.saliva produces by, you drinking water which saliva is 98% of. when mucus builds up in your body it also creates saliva as well as, antibacterial compunds.4.when the core body tempature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. for example: when you get out the pool you start to shiver because it is cold.
