HESI RN 301 Pharmacology Final Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

During a home visit, a client informs the nurse about feeling like the heart is skipping beats. When reviewing the client's record, the nurse notes that the client is taking hydrochlorothiazide. Based on these assessment data, the nurse plans to obtain a blood sample to check for which condition?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, increases potassium excretion, potentially causing hypokalemia, which can manifest as palpitations or irregular heartbeats. Hyponatremia is possible but less directly linked to this symptom. Hyperphosphatemia and hypermagnesemia are not typical side effects.
