CC: Weakness, Smooth Muscle atony, parathesias (pins and needles), Cardiac dysrythmias


Action Potential: Hyperkalemia lead to what complications - CORRECT ANSWER -
Increased potassium will come into the cell and make it more positive, depolarization will occur
taking the RMP closer to the Threshold potential. This makes cells more excitable.


CC: Peak T waves, Widening QRS Complex, paralysis, paresthesia, weakness, cardiac
dysrhythmia


Action Potential: Hypercalcemia - CORRECT ANSWER - High calcium (Ca2+) decreases
the cells permeability to Na+ ions. Cell becomes less positive. Hyper polarized and less excitable


CC: Weakness, hyporeflexia, fatigue, lethargy, confusion, encephalopathy, Shorted QT segment,
Depressed widened T waves


Action Potential: Hypocalcemia - CORRECT ANSWER - Less Calcium leads to more per
i ability of Na+ ions into the cell. The cell becomes more positive and depolarizes. Closed to
threshold potential means more excitable cells.
