  1. Why do I need to administer Liquid KCL with lots of water?

    PickleRicked replied to ironman53's topic in General Nursing
    Potassium is very irritating in any form. Just like you would not give it via IV push without dilution because it may cause the heart to stop, a large dose could theoretically be lethal when given PO or GT. Also, it can be very irritating to the stomach if not diluted just as it is a vessicant. Depending where the feeding tube has been placed in the GI system the dose could be directly administered where absorption to the blood stream could be fast enough for a lethal dose. Otherwise, It could trigger nausea or vomiting as a response which as well as being uncomfortable for the patient will jeopardize the intended medication and any others administered from being absorbed and having intended effects.

  2. UHS

    Yup! But we can literally throw all the paper in the air, so there is that.
