Question 1 of 5
A patient with left-sided heart failure is being treated with enalapril and furosemide. Which assessments should the nurse perform to evaluate the effectiveness of these medications?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Auscultating lung fields can reveal the presence of fluid, indicating pulmonary edema, a common complication of left-sided heart failure. Checking BP is essential as enalapril is an ACE inhibitor that lowers BP, and furosemide can also affect BP through its diuretic effect.
