3.2mL
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A serum potassium level of 3.2 mEq/L is considered low, as normal potassium levels are typically between 3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L. When a client has hypokalemia (low potassium), administering potassium chloride (KCl) can help to correct the imbalance. It is important for the nurse to follow hospital protocols and guidelines when administering medications, especially those that can affect electrolyte balance.
A-Holding the KCL in inappropriate as it is needed from the indicated levels
B-The KCL should not be held as the client needs it
D-Hypokalemia is expected in loop diuretics therapy due to renal losses of potassium
