RULE: POTASSIUM IMBALANCES DO THE SAME AS THE PREFIX,
EXCEPT FOR HEART RATE & URINE OUTPUT!!
brain:irritability, restlessness, agitation
lungs: tachypnea
heart: low heart rate – bradycardia urine:
oliguria
bowel: diarhhea, borborygmi muscles: spasticity; increased
tone reflexes: 3+ or 4+ - hyperreflexia
*K rarely affects CNS and seizures doesn’t occur.
K greatly affects Cardiovascular and NeuroMuscular systems
