Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for furosemide for heart failure. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C

Monitoring for muscle weakness is crucial as it is a common sign of low potassium levels. Option A is incorrect as high sodium intake can worsen fluid retention in heart failure. Option B is incorrect as furosemide is typically taken in the morning to avoid nighttime urination. Option D is incorrect as furosemide can cause fluid loss, so increasing fluid intake excessively may not be advisable.
