Which of the following serum electrolyte values is abnormal? Sodium 138 mg/dl. Potassium 4.0 mEq/L. Magnesium 2.0 mEq/L Calcium 11.3 mEq/L
Added by Jeffrey P.
Step 1
- Sodium: Normal range is typically 135-145 mEq/L. - Potassium: Normal range is typically 3.5-5.0 mEq/L. - Magnesium: Normal range is typically 1.5-2.5 mEq/L. - Calcium: Normal range is typically 8.5-10.5 mg/dL (note that calcium is usually measured in Show more…

When the nurse is checking the laboratory data for a patient taking spironolactone (Aldactone), which result would be a potential concern? a Serum sodium level of $140 \mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$ b Serum calcium level of $10.2 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ c Serum potassium level of $5.8 \mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$ d Serum magnesium level of $2.0 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$
The results of a 40-year-old patient's blood work are presented below. Determine whether each reading is either stable or unstable based on the normal ranges provided in the table below: Test Normal range Units Sodium 135-145 mmol/L Calcium 8.5-10.6 mg/dL Potassium 3.5-5.2 mmol/L Glucose 65-99 mg/dL Iron 35-155 ÎĽg/dL *The unit mol corresponds to a mole, a counting unit, and 1 mol = 1000 mmol. Drag the appropriate items to their appropriate bins. calcium reading of 9.06 x 10^-8 kg/mL glucose reading of 9.49 x 10^-6 kg/L sodium reading of 1.37 x 10^-2 mol/dL potassium reading of 3.91 x 10^2 mmol/kL iron reading of 8.30 x 10^-7 mg/mL Stable Unstable
