    This nursing pharmacology sheet provides information on administering potassium citrate to a 73-year-old female patient with heart and kidney issues. Potassium citrate is used to maintain acid-base balance, electrolyte levels, and physiological functions. Nurses are responsible for monitoring the patient's vital signs, ECG, serum potassium levels, and kidney and gastric conditions during treatment. They must also educate the patient about following dosage instructions carefully and reporting any adverse effects like confusion, arrhythmias, or gastrointestinal issues.
