  1. Results of the nurse questionnaires regarding their opinion on potassium control with GRIP-II compared with conventional potassium control. A total of 125 questionnaires were distributed with a response rate of 61%. The numbers are percentages. The total percentages do not always add up to 100 since a few nurses were unable to choose one of the predefined answers. As the answers indicate, the majority of the nurses consider GRIP-II to be an improvement.
