A 67-yeаr-оld mаle with а histоry оf type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3, baseline creatinine 1.9 mg/dL) is brought to the ICU from the emergency department following a 3-day history of worsening nausea, vomiting, decreased urine output, and progressive shortness of breath. His daughter reports he has been increasingly lethargic and difficult to rouse since this morning. Home medications: amlodipine, hydralazine, spironolactone, and metformin. On exam, he is somnolent but arousable to voice, oriented to person only. He has diffuse crackles at both lung bases bilaterally, 3+ pitting edema to the thighs, and a pericardial friction rub on auscultation. Jugular venous distension is present. Vital Signs: HR 102 bpm, BP 178/104 mmHg, RR 26 /min, Temp 37.1°C, SpO₂ 89% (RA) Urine output over the past 6 hours via Foley catheter has totaled 28 mL. Basic Metabolic Panel Sodium 129 mEq/L Potassium 6.9 mEq/L ↑ CRITICAL Bicarbonate 10 mEq/L BUN 118 mg/dL Creatinine 9.4 mg/dL Glucose 188 mg/dL eGFR< 8 mL/min/1.73m² Anion Gap32 mEq/L Hgb 8.2 g/dL Phosphorus 7.8 mg/dL BNP1 ,840 pg/mL ECG: Sinus tachycardia with peaked T-waves in precordial leads, widened QRS complex (138 ms), and prolonged PR interval. No ST elevation. The AGACNP has administered IV calcium gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, insulin with dextrose, and inhaled albuterol for acute hyperkalemia management. Despite these measures, potassium remains 6.7 mEq/L on repeat labs and the patient continues to deteriorate. Which of the following is the most appropriate next intervention?
