Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who receives furosemide to treat heart failure. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor for this client due to this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause hypokalemia by increasing potassium excretion. Cortisol, bicarbonate, and albumin are not primarily affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose arterial blood gas results show a pH of 7.3 and a PaCO2 of 50 mm Hg. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following acid-base imbalances?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Low pH (7.3) and high PaCO2 (50 mm Hg) indicate respiratory acidosis from CO2 retention. Other imbalances do not fit.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing hypovolemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oliguria is expected in hypovolemia due to reduced renal perfusion. Hypertension, bradycardia, and edema are associated with other conditions.
