Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer: C (Serum potassium level of 3.0 mEq/L)


Rationale: A low serum potassium level (hypokalemia) is a potential side effect of Lasix. Severe hypokalemia can lead to dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.
Therefore, a potassium level of 3.0 mEq/L would prompt the nurse to notify the healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential intervention.

A. Serum potassium level of 5.5 mEq/L is within normal range.
B. Blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg is within normal range.
D. Serum sodium level of 140 mEq/L is within normal range.
