Question 1 of 5

A nurse is monitoring a client who is receiving spironolactone (Aldactone). Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Blood potassium 8 mEq/L. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can lead to hyperkalemia. A potassium level of 8 mEq/L is dangerously high and requires immediate attention to prevent serious cardiac arrhythmias.
Choice A (Blood potassium 3.9 mEq/L) is within the normal range.
Choice B (Urine output 500 mL in 5 hours) is acceptable.
Choice D (Urine output 200 mL in 4 hours) could indicate decreased renal perfusion but is not directly related to spironolactone therapy.
