A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and a new prescription for furosemide. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor?

Monitoring potassium levels is crucial. The other options are incorrect because: A: Furosemide does not directly affect blood glucose levels. B: Furosemide is used to treat hypertension, not cause it. C: Hypervolemia is a condition that furosemide is used to treat by reducing fluid volume.
