Does lasix cause hyperkalemia?
Lasix (furosemide) is a loop diuretic that typically causes hypokalemia, not hyperkalemia, as it promotes the excretion of potassium in the urine. However, in certain situations, such as in patients with renal impairment or when used alongside other medications that affect potassium levels, there could be a risk of hyperkalemia. Therefore, monitoring potassium levels is essential during treatment with Lasix, especially in at-risk populations.
What do patients with bicarbonate deficit experience?
Patients with bicarbonate deficit may experience symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and confusion due to the resulting metabolic acidosis. Severe cases can lead to respiratory distress and altered mental status. Treatment typically involves correcting the underlying cause and administering bicarbonate if needed.
Is hyperkalemia a nursing diagnosis or a medical diagnosis?

What does a potassium overdose do to your body?
Hyperkalemia or the condition of high levels of potassium in your serum can be caused by a number of things including diuretics like spironolactone or an ACE inhibitor, exogenous potassium ingestion, iatragenic administration of potassium chloride (KCl), other medications like NSAIDs or bactrim, type 4 renal tube acidosis, adrenal insufficiency, and rhabdomyolysis. Hyperkalemia can result in fatal heart arrhythmias. Lethal injection in the US is accomplished by injecting potassium chloride into the circulatory system.
Does rebreathing result in acidosis or alkalosis?
Acidosis
