Activity Description

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.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the signs and symptoms indicative of hypokalemia.

  • Develop a clinically guided diagnostic plan for a patient with hypokalemia.

  • Create a personalized management strategy for a patient with hypokalemia.

  • Develop effective communication protocols within an interprofessional team caring for patients with hypokalemia, specifically when formulating immediate and long-term plans that can improve health outcomes.

  • Outline the pharmacologic therapy as it applies to Hypokalemia
