The nurse is caring for a client who is in the Oliguric phase of an Acute kidney injury. Which of the following electrolyte imbalances would be consistent with the condition?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
In the oliguric phase, decreased kidney excretion leads to hyperkalemia, and fluid retention causes hyponatremia due to dilution. Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypernatremia are not typical in this phase.
