2. Use the Nernst equation (below) to calculate the equilibrium potential for potassium in a normal patient and in
Elaina. Assume that the ion level in the interstitial fluid is the same as that in the blood plasma, and also assume
that the intracellular concentration of potassium is 150 mM in Elaina and in normal patients.
E (millivolts) = 61 log₁0 ([K]out /[K])
3. If the resting membrane potential exhibits the same change as the equilibrium potential for potassium, predict
how Elaina's ion imbalance will affect a cell's resting membrane potential; would Elaina's resting membrane
potential be hyperpolarized or depolarized?
