Your Answer: flattened T waves and occasional U wavesCorrect
Answer: flattened T waves and occasional U waves

repolarization, resulting in a flattening of the T wave and eventually
the emergence of a U wave. Therefore, the nurse should suspect
hypokalemia. The incidence of potentially lethal ventricular
dysrhythmias is increased in hypokalemia. The nurse should
immediately assess the client's vital signs and cardiac status for
signs of hypokalemia. The nurse should also check the client's most
recent serum potassium level and then contact the primary health
care provider to report the findings and obtain prescriptions to
treat the hypokalemic state.
