A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following client's medications should be monitored by the nurse for hearing loss related to a medication interaction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (Furosemide and amikacin). Furosemide is a loop diuretic known to cause ototoxicity, including hearing loss. Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic also associated with ototoxicity. When used together, the risk of hearing loss is increased due to their additive effects on the inner ear. Monitoring these clients for signs of hearing loss is crucial to prevent permanent damage.
