Patient reported to have LBM X 7 since morning (its now 7pm). Aide reported only 1 BM all day, soft and formed.
MD ordered NS with KCl 20mEq.
0.5% Dextrose and .45NaCl with KCl 20mEq given, patient tolerated well.
Patient has NO history of DM or not on sugar watch.
What could be the a/e of the given IV? What would be the anticipated nursing measures? Documentation? Corrections? Repercussion?
Thank you all!
