Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A vein in the dominant arm can be used, but it is not necessarily the best choice for a re-insertion.

B. A vein proximal to the previous site is the best option to avoid using the same vein where complications (e.g., infiltration, thrombosis) have occurred.

C. A vein that feels hard to the touch may indicate previous injury or sclerosis, making it unsuitable for insertion.

D. The wrist vein is less ideal because it is smaller and more difficult to access compared to veins in the forearm.

A. Decreased blood pressure B. Weight loss C. Increased heart rate D. Distended neck veins

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While furosemide may lower blood pressure, weight loss due to fluid reduction is a more direct indicator of its therapeutic effect.

B. Furosemide promotes diuresis, and weight loss is a sign of decreased fluid retention, indicating effectiveness in treating heart failure.

C. An increased heart rate is not a desired effect and may indicate volume depletion or stress.

D. Distended neck veins indicate fluid overload and would not suggest a therapeutic effect.
