Question 1 of 5
A client is prescribed a diuretic for swelling of the lower extremities. The nurse should teach the client about the effect of the medication on the client's urinary output.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client's urinary output will be increased. Diuretics work by increasing the excretion of water and sodium through the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. This helps reduce fluid retention and swelling in the lower extremities.
Choice B and C are incorrect because urine color and odor are not directly affected by diuretics.
Choice D is incorrect as diuretics actually increase urinary output.
