The physician has prescribed 30 mEq of potassium gluconate to be given orally once a day in orange juice.

The available concentration of potassium gluconate is 20 mEq per 15 mL.

What is the amount of mL the nurse will administer Instructions: Rounding: For adult clients, the answer should be rounded to the nearest whole number (mg, mcg, and m).

This is because acute renal failure is a condition where the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. This can lead to fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic acidosis. Therefore, the nurse should monitor the patient’s urine output and fluid balance to assess the severity of the renal impairment and prevent complications.

Choice A is wrong because administering a potassium-sparing diuretic would worsen the patient’s hyperkalemia, which is a common complication of acute renal failure.

Choice B is wrong because encouraging the patient to consume a high-sodium diet would increase the patient’s fluid retention and blood pressure, which can further damage the kidneys.

Choice D is wrong because administering intravenous antibiotics is not a priority intervention for acute renal failure unless there is a specific indication of infection.

Angiotensin II is a hormone that stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure by increasing the reabsorption of sodium and water and the excretion of potassium by the kidneys.

Choice A is wrong because renin is not a hormone but an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I1.

Choice B is wrong because angiotensin I is an inactive precursor of angiotensin II that is converted by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the lungs.

Choice D is wrong because antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone that regulates water balance by increasing the reabsorption of water by the kidneys, but it does not affect aldosterone secretion.
