参考答案: C

参考解析: Insulin administration causes glucose and potassium to move into the cells, causing hypokalemia. Calcium levels aren't directly affected by insulin administration. Hypophosphatemia, not hyperphosphatemia, may occur with insulin administration because phosphorus also enters the cells with insulin and potassium. Sodium levels aren't directly affected by insulin administration.
