1.25 Contact Hours Module Description The basic metabolic panel (BMP) gives a lot of basic clues to glucose level, kidney function, electrolytes and acid-base balance. This module will also discuss how labs can help determine the causes of acute renal failure, how each cause is decided and treatment interventions. Finally, common electrolyte abnormalities and interventions to treat will also be covered. Module Learning Outcomes This module prepares the learner to: 1. Compare and contract prerenal, intrinsic and postobstructive causes of acute renal failure. 2. Calculate the corrected calcium and relate how it differs from a serum calcium level. 3. Classify changes found on the ECG related to hyper- and hypokalemia.
