Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and a new prescription for the diuretic Furosemide. For which adverse effect should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypokalemia. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that promotes the loss of potassium in the urine. Hypokalemia can lead to cardiac dysrhythmias in a client with heart failure. Monitoring potassium levels is crucial to prevent complications.
A: Hypoglycemia - Furosemide does not directly affect blood glucose levels.
B: Hypertension - Furosemide is actually used to treat hypertension, not cause it.
C: Hypervolemia - Furosemide helps reduce fluid overload, so hypervolemia is not an expected adverse effect.
