Question 18 of 24

Question 19 of 24

1

How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?

Select one of the following:

  • When insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it.

  • Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell.

  • Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen.
