Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is prescribed a diuretic for hypertension. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor for signs of dehydration. This is important because diuretics can lead to fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances, potentially causing dehydration. By monitoring for signs such as increased thirst, dry mouth, dark urine, dizziness, and fatigue, the client can take appropriate action to prevent complications. Taking the medication at bedtime (
A) is not necessarily beneficial for all diuretics. Avoiding potassium-rich foods (
C) is incorrect as some diuretics can lead to potassium loss, making it important to maintain adequate potassium levels. Expecting weight gain (
D) is not a typical effect of diuretics, as they usually lead to weight loss through fluid loss.
