Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for furosemide for edema. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Potassium. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause potassium loss through increased urine output. Monitoring potassium levels is crucial to prevent hypokalemia, which can lead to cardiac dysrhythmias. Sodium (choice
A) is important but not the priority in this case. Hemoglobin (choice
B) and calcium (choice
C) are not directly affected by furosemide.
Therefore, monitoring potassium levels is the most essential to ensure the client's safety and prevent potential complications.
