    A nurse is caring for a group of clients. The nurse should monitor which of the following clients for manifestations of hypokalemia? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A rationale Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can cause hypokalemia by increasing renal potassium excretion. Choice B rationale Torsemide, a loop diuretic, can lead to hypokalemia by promoting potassium loss through urine. Choice C rationale Polystyrene sulfonate is used to treat hyperkalemia, but it can cause hypokalemia as it removes potassium from the body. Choice E rationale Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, can cause hypokalemia by increasing potassium excretion in the urine.
