I am trying to find information regarding this scenario From course NURS 6501 Advanced pathophysiology: In the week's case study, a 27 year old was presented with a history of substance abuse and was found unresponsive by EMS after being called by the patient's roommate. Unknown as to how long the patient had been lying on there, the patient was administered naloxone and became responsive. The patient complained of burning pain over the left hip and forearm. Further work up in the ED revealed a large amount of necrotic tissue over the patients greater trochanter and forearm and an EKG demonstrating a prolonged PR interval, peaked T waves and a serum potassium level of 6.9 mEq/L.
