Electrolyte imbalance Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass Hypokalemia (<3.5mEq/L) Pathophysiology - - Decrease in K+ causes decreased excitability of cells, therefore cells are less responsive to normal stimuli. Think: impaired muscle contraction. Therefore manifestations are usually muscle and cardiac related. source of potassium - main source is dietary mainly from protein rich food and fruits and vegetables. diet usually contains 50 to 100 mEq of K daily. 90% is excreted. oranges...
