Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and is receiving IV furosemide. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following electrolyte imbalances?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hyperuricemia. Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can lead to increased uric acid levels by inhibiting its excretion in the kidneys. This can cause hyperuricemia. Other choices are incorrect because furosemide typically does not cause hyperchloremia (choice
A), hypernatremia (choice
C), or hypercalcemia (choice
D). The rationale is based on the pharmacological effects of furosemide on electrolyte balance and uric acid levels.
