Hope everyone had a great day! Here is the answer to the #NCLEX Mastery Question of the Day A patient suffering from status epilepticus is put on mechanical ventilation and is sedated with a high dose propofol (Diprivan) in order to reduce brain activity. Which of the following deficiencies is the patient at risk for? C. Zinc Propofol can cause zinc loss through the urine, so prolonged propofol use should be supplemented with zinc. Potassium and calcium imbalances are not associated with the use of propofol. Propofol contains a high concentration of lipids that places the patient at risk for hyperlipidemia, not lipid deficiency.
