Correct answer: A — It supports potassium removal but does not replace acute ECG-directed treatment
Potassium binders remove potassium over time and may support chronic control or selected acute pathways, but they do not replace immediate calcium for ECG toxicity or rapid intracellular-shift treatment. Constipation, medicine spacing and ongoing potassium monitoring remain important.
