   daisywill replied to bemory's topic in CCU

5. help! Besides insulin, why is potassium given to lower blood glucose?

   daisywill replied to azzurra29's topic in Med-Surg

   Hi. I might be too late but I just saw this post. Potassium is used in rapid situations to push glucose IN the cells. This produces a decrease in SERUM potassium. Thats why kayxelate is used to push glucose into the cells. Hope I helped.

   NO!!! Never assume or wing anything with nursing. If you do that you will be making a huge mistake. What are you gonna do, waste almost $700 on a chem class just for hunter to say "what the hell is this". You can get the class evaluated at nassau c...

    I dont mean to discourage you or dissapoint you in any way. I advise that you still talk to someone from Hunter. Its just a hassle when you finish pre reqs for 2 years and apply and take a test to get into a nursing program that only has 80 seats a...
