NEVER iv push potassium chloride!

The only time this is given iv push is when it is used as part of the lethal injection process to stop the inmates heart...something quite counter productive for our patients...

Administering potassium by IV push can lead to serious adverse effects such as cardiac arrest or arrhythmias due to its irritant effects on veins and potential for rapid infusion causing high levels of potassium in the blood. It should only be given via IV infusion with close monitoring of the patient's potassium levels and cardiac function.
