Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client whose serum potassium level is 5.3 mEq/L. Which of the following scheduled medications should the nurse plan to administer?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Furosemide. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps to eliminate excess potassium from the body through urine, thus lowering the serum potassium level. A serum potassium level of 5.3 mEq/L is considered high (normal range is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L), and administering furosemide can help normalize it.
Potassium iodide (
A) is not indicated for high serum potassium levels; it is used for radiation emergencies. Lisinopril (
C) is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension and does not directly affect potassium levels. Digoxin (
D) is a cardiac glycoside used for heart conditions and can actually increase potassium levels.
