Title: The LPN is preparing to add a new IV of D5W with potassium to an existing line. Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 The LPN is preparing to add a new IV of D5W with potassium to an existing line. The LPN notices that there is only 25 mL of urine collected over the last hour. The LPN’s best intervention is to:
1. not hang the IV with potassium; inform the RN of urine output. 2. run the IV rapidly for 30 minutes to stimulate urine production. 3. call the MD who ordered the potassium. 4. hang the IV as ordered and chart output. This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: The LPN is preparing to add a new IV of D5W with potassium to an existing line. Post by: f_zah1 on Oct 24, 2014 Content hidden
