Hospitalization for cardiac problems

Reference no: EM1368189

Mr. Miller is hospitalized for cardiac problems. Somehow, medical orders are mixed up and Mr. Miller is infused with a K+ - enhanced intravenous solution meant for another patient who is taking potassium-wasting diuretics (i.e, drugs that cause excessive loss of potassium from the body in urine). Mr. Miller's potassium levels are normal before the IV is administered. What do you think will happen to Mr. Miller's resting membrane potentials? To his neurons'ability to generate APs?
