Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement accurately identifies the three electrolytes necessary for proper cardiac conduction. Sodium, potassium, and calcium are all essential to the proper generation and propagation of electrical impulses in the heart. Option A incorrectly omits calcium, and Option B incorrectly implies that potassium is the most important electrolyte for cardiac conduction. Option D is incorrect as enhancing only potassium and sodium levels would not necessarily prevent dysrhythmias, as calcium is also an essential electrolyte for cardiac function.
