CONCLUSION
The results cannot be generalised to all hospitals because this study was conducted in only one hospital
in Turkey. Despite this main limitation, the study yielded important evidence on nurses’ knowledge and
practices about intravenous potassium in Turkey. The researchers of this study suggest protocols related to
intravenous potassium administration should be developed and enforced; that this issue should be presented
in in-service training programs. In addition, a similar study can be conducted with a larger sample and using
the method of observation.
