Question 1 of 5

A nurse is administering furosemide 80 mg PO twice daily to a client who has pulmonary edema. Which of the following assessment findings indicates to the nurse that the medication is effective?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Weight loss of 1.8 kg (4 lb) in the past 24 hr. Furosemide is a diuretic that helps to reduce fluid retention, so weight loss indicates the medication is effectively reducing pulmonary edema. Adventitious breath sounds indicate respiratory issues, not medication effectiveness. A respiratory rate of 24/min could be within normal range and not necessarily indicative of medication effectiveness. Elevation in blood pressure could indicate a potential adverse effect of furosemide, not effectiveness. Weight loss is the most direct indicator of reduced fluid volume due to diuresis.
