Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has heart failure and a prescription for a repeat dose of furosemide 40 mg orally. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Review the client's electrolyte levels. This is the priority because furosemide is a diuretic that can cause electrolyte imbalances, especially potassium. Monitoring electrolyte levels helps prevent complications like arrhythmias. A: Reminding the client to change positions slowly is important but not the priority in this situation. C: Preparing the client's medication can be done once the electrolyte levels are reviewed. D: Recording the client's urinary output is important but does not address the immediate risk of electrolyte imbalance.
