| What should the nurse monitor when providing care to a patient who is prescribed the prolonged use of IV normal saline (NS)? | -Fluid volume excess |
| The nurse is caring for a patient with known hyponatremia. Which are appropriate nursing interventions for the nurse to implement for this patient? | -Assist the patient to adhere to fluid restriction requirements. -Monitor intake and output. |

| Which patient potassium level would require the nurse to prepare for cardiac monitoring? | 2.4 mEq/L |
| Which electrolyte excess or deficit will the nurse pay special attention to, given its critical role in maintaining appropriate cardiac functioning? | -Sodium -Potassium |
| Which advantage of cardiac telemetry should the nurse include in the teaching session for a patient diagnosed with an electrolyte imbalance who requires cardiac monitoring? | - Allows the patient’s cardiac activity to be monitored remotely without affecting the patient’s mobility |
| What purpose of cardiac monitoring should the nurse include in a teaching session for patients diagnosed with electrolyte imbalances? | To monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias |
| What nursing actions should be implemented prior to a patient receiving a dialysis treatment? | -Obtaining vital signs -Assessing lab data - Providing instruction about what the patient should expect |

| Which concept should the nurse include in a teaching session for a patient requiring dialysis for the treatment of an electrolyte imbalance? | -Dialysis may be needed as a result of decreased renal function. -Blood is drawn from the body and processed through a series of filters to remove wastes. -Dialysis helps maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance. |
