Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has fluid volume excess and received furosemide 40 mg via intermittent IV bolus 1 hr ago. Which of the following findings indicates that the medication has been effective?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increased urinary output. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that promotes diuresis by inhibiting sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Therefore, an increase in urinary output indicates that the medication has been effective in reducing fluid volume excess.
Incorrect Options:
B: Increased respiratory rate - Furosemide does not directly affect respiratory rate.
C: Decreased blood pressure - While furosemide may lead to decreased blood pressure as a side effect, it is not a direct indicator of the medication's effectiveness in this scenario.
D: Increased pulse - Furosemide may cause electrolyte imbalances that could impact pulse rate, but it is not a direct indicator of medication effectiveness in this context.
