Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who started taking furosemide 2 days ago and has a potassium level of 3.1 mEq/L (3.5 to 5 mEq/L). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Depressed deep tendon reflexes. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that promotes potassium excretion, leading to hypokalemia. Low potassium levels can result in decreased neuromuscular excitability, causing depressed deep tendon reflexes. Muscle rigidity (
A) is not typically associated with hypokalemia. Bounding radial pulses (
B) are more indicative of fluid volume excess. Increased bowel motility (
