Happy New Year!

Quick question -
What is the maximum rate of infusion for potassium allowed to be administered at your organization WITHOUT telemetry? (10 mEq/hour vs. 20 mEq/hour, other?)

Is this the same for both inpatient and outpatient settings?

(...if you administer WITHOUT telemetry at rates higher than 10 mEq/hour - would you mind sharing your references?)

Thank you!
Emily
