Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a child who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide reduces fluid overload, decreasing edema as an effectiveness marker. Increased respiratory rate or potassium levels indicate issues, not success.
Question 2 of 5

Rationale: Headache occurs in hypoglycemia due to low brain glucose. Flushed skin and fruity breath suggest hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has a fractured right tibia and a cast. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Question 4 of 5
