Risk for falls related to muscle weakness and episodes of seizures secondary to low levels of potassium in the blood
|
Because potassium and sodium are needed for normal nerve conduction and muscle function, low plasma potassium and sodium levels can often lead to weakness and can lead to falls or seizures
Hypertension can cause deprivation of body cells of O2 secondary to decrease blood flow resulted from vasoconstriction. This can in turn causes weakness of the muscles and dizziness
|
