    Explanation & Rationale

Administering potassium via IV bolus can be dangerous, but it is a matter of scope of practice and guidelines rather than malpractice unless done incorrectly. C. Leaving a nasogastric tube clamped after administering oral medication is an example of malpractice as it could result in aspiration or improper medication absorption. D. Documenting communication with a provider in the medical record is standard practice.
