Question 1 of 5
A nurse is administering furosemide IV bolus to a client who has fluid volume excess. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as an indication that the medication has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Weight Loss. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps the body excrete excess fluid and sodium through increased urine output.
Therefore, weight loss would indicate that the medication has been effective in reducing the client's fluid volume excess. Increased blood pressure (
A) would not be an expected finding as furosemide typically helps lower blood pressure. Decreased inflammation (
C) and decreased pain (
D) are not directly related to the action of furosemide as a diuretic.
