About this listen

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Differentiate the key ECG findings, peaked T waves in hyperkalemia versus flattened T-waves and U-waves in hypokalemia. • Identify the most common causes of potassium imbalances, such as loop diuretics for hypokalemia and renal failure for hyperkalemia. • Recall the cardinal safety rule of IV potassium administration which is to never push, always dilute, and infuse slowly. • Prioritize the emergency nursing interventions for life-threatening hyperkalemia, including IV calcium gluconate and insulin with dextrose. • Recognize common medication-related exam traps, such as confusing potassium-wasting diuretics like Furosemide with potassium-sparing diuretics like Spironolactone.
