Final answer:
The nurse should administer calcium gluconate to the client undergoing hemodialysis who reports muscle cramps and tingling sensations, as these symptoms suggest hypocalcemia.
Step-by-step explanation:
A client undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) reports muscle cramps and tingling in the hands, which are symptoms that can be associated with hypocalcemia or low levels of calcium. Given the choices, the nurse should plan to administer calcium gluconate to treat these symptoms. Calcium gluconate is used to treat or prevent low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It is important not to confuse hypocalcemia with hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, which are conditions related to abnormal potassium levels. An intravenous (IV) delivery of potassium chloride would be suitable for a patient with hypokalemia, but not for someone with symptoms suggestive of hypocalcemia. Moreover, the symptoms reported do not align with erythropoietin deficiency, which would typically lead to anemia and fatigue, nor are they symptoms that would warrant the administration of furosemide, a diuretic.
