    The document provides instructions for two methods of determining potassium and chloride levels. For potassium, the test principle is discussed along with the purpose of a potassium base reagent and precautions. Factors causing falsely elevated values and the purpose of incubating the solution are also noted. For chloride, the method principle is stated along with the purpose of a chloride blank, use of a standard curve and ratio, effects of hemolysis, and stability of chloride at refrigerated temperatures. Computations for an unknown sample are also to be shown.
