A client with heart failure is prescribed furosemide (Lasix). Which laboratory value should the nurse monitor closely?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause hypokalemia, which is dangerous in heart failure clients due to the risk of arrhythmias, so potassium levels must be monitored.

Question 2 of 5

A client with a history of gout is prescribed allopurinol. Which instruction should the nurse include?

Rationale: Methotrexate can cause hepatotoxicity, so liver function tests must be monitored closely to detect early signs of liver damage.

Question 4 of 5
