A) Calcium gluconate, to make the potassium shift from the intracellular fluid (ICF) to the extracellular fluid (ECF)
B) Insulin and dextrose, to make the client hypoglycemic
C) Sodium bicarbonate, to make the client alkalotic so the potassium will shift into the ECF
D) Normal saline (NS), to provide extra sodium so the potassium will move out of the ICF into the ECF
