Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has pulmonary edema and is about to start taking furosemide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. Expect some swelling in the hands and feet. B. Take the medication at bedtime. C. Eat foods that contain plenty of potassium. D. Take aspirin if headaches develop.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Furosemide, a diuretic, causes potassium loss through increased urination, risking hypokalemia. Eating potassium-rich foods helps maintain electrolyte balance. Swelling is alleviated by furosemide, not caused; bedtime dosing may cause nocturia, disrupting sleep; and aspirin is not standard for furosemide-related headaches.
