Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance not given as much attention as hyperkalemia. Hypokalemia has associations with cardiac disease, renal failure, malnutrition, and shock. Additional risk factors, such as hypothermia and increased blood cell production, contribute to this condition’s complexity. Clinicians must thus promptly triage, refer, and replete electrolytes to prevent long-term sequelae and mortality. Understanding the nuances of the condition’s manifestations and treatment strategies is crucial to enhancing patient outcomes.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learner’s proficiency in evaluating and managing hypokalemia. After participation, learners gain insights into hypokalemia’s presentations, diagnostic features, and intervention strategies, enabling them to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional team caring for people with this condition.
