Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increase your intake of potassium-rich foods. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can lead to potassium loss. Instructing the client to increase potassium intake helps prevent hypokalemia, a potential side effect of the medication. Option A is incorrect as furosemide is a diuretic that causes increased urination, so taking it at bedtime may lead to nocturia. Option C is incorrect as swelling in extremities is a sign of fluid retention, which furosemide helps to reduce. Option D is incorrect as furosemide can be taken with or without food, including dairy products.
