When giving potassium, it can prolong the QT interval on an ECG, potentially leading to a risk of developing potentially fatal arrhythmias such as Torsades de Pointes. Monitoring electrolyte levels and ECG changes is essential to prevent any adverse cardiac effects.

Is potassium cloride dissolving in water a chemical change?

Potassium metal does not dissolve in water, it is so reactive that it rips water molecules apart releasing hydrogen gas and combining with the remaining hydroxyl group to form potassium hydroxide (potash lye) which then dissolves in the water. This chemical reaction releases so much heat that it ignites the hydrogen gas that was emitted which produces water vapor/steam and a light purple flame (caused by excited potassium ions).
