Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a client who takes furosemide daily for heart failure. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse review before administering the medication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Serum potassium. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause potassium depletion, leading to hypokalemia. Monitoring serum potassium levels is crucial to prevent complications such as cardiac arrhythmias. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (
A) is not relevant for assessing furosemide therapy. Thyroxine (
B) is a thyroid hormone and not directly affected by furosemide. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (
D) is a liver enzyme and not specifically impacted by furosemide administration.
