A nurse has administered a dose of furosemide to a client with diminished urine output. How does the nurse BEST determine effectiveness?
Y.The client reports less thirst as compared with yesterday
Z.The client reports socks which seem less tight on the ankle area
AA.The client’s weight remains stable, over the past two
to three days
BB.The client’s urine output is 1500 ml more than the fluid intake Correct
Rationale: Furosemide works by inducing excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride. Body fluid is also excreted. The best way to determine if the medication is effective is if the urine output is more than the fluid intake. Thirst is subjective, and not the best determinate of fluid status. Many clients can detect a change in the tightness of their socks over the ankle area, but this is subjective, not
objective data. The client should lose some weight when furosemide causes fluid and sodium excretion.
Test Taking Strategy: Note the strategic words “best determine effectiveness”. Use data in the question (diminished urine output) and search the options for related information regarding an increasing urine output.
Eliminate the comparable or alike options that depict non-objective ways of determining effectiveness.
