NCLEX decision rule Never assume all potassium phosphate products share the same preparation instructions.
Why the other choices are wrong Starting before renal and electrolyte review can expose a contraindication; skipping follow-up misses hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, or hypomagnesemia.
