Which complication is associated with an abnormal potassium level?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An abnormal potassium level, especially a very high level (hyperkalemia), can lead to cardiac arrest due to changes in the electrical activity of the heart. Low potassium levels (hypokalemia) can also have cardiovascular complications but are less likely to result in cardiac arrest. Tetany with laryngospasm (A) is associated with low calcium levels, fluid overload (B) can result from a variety of conditions but is not directly related to potassium levels, and internal bleeding (C) can have multiple causes but is not commonly associated with potassium disturbances.
