A nurse is administering furosemide 80 mg PO twice daily to a client who has pulmonary edema.

Which of the following assessment findings indicates to the nurse that the medication is effective?

Adventitious breath sounds.

Elevation in blood pressure.

Weight loss of.8 kg (4 Ib) in the past 24 hr.

Respiratory rate of 24/min.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

“Weight loss of.8 kg (4 Ib) in the past 24 hr.” Furosemide is a diuretic that decreases the pressure caused by excess fluid in the heart and lungs.
A weight loss of.8 kg (4 Ib) in the past 24 hr indicates that excess fluid is being removed from the body, which is a sign that the medication is effective.
Choice A is incorrect because adventitious breath sounds are a symptom of pulmonary edema, not an indication that the medication is effective.
Choice B is incorrect because furosemide has direct vasodilatory outcomes 2, which would decrease blood pressure, not elevate it.
Choice D is incorrect because there is no information found to support this statement.
