Question 1 of 1
1. Question
Why might sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) be utilized in ARF?
Correct
Answer & Explanation:
The answer is D
Explanation:
SPS is a potassium-removing resin that exchanges sodium ions for potassium ions in the intestine (1 g of SPS exchanges 0.5 to 1.0 mEq/L of potassium). Th e SPS is distributed throughout the intestines and excreted in the feces. It is administered as an adjunctive treatment for hyperkalemia since SPS reduces potassium levels in the serum and other body fl uids.
