w orts socks which seem less tight on the
i ankle area
t AA. The client’s weight remains stable,
h over the past two to three days
BB. The client’s urine output is
y 1500 ml more than the fluid intake
e Correct
s Rationale: Furosemide works by inducing excretion
t of sodium, potassium and chloride. Body fluid is
e also excreted. The best way to determine if the
r medication is effective is if the urine output is more
d than the fluid intake. Thirst is subjective, and not
a the best determinate of fluid status. Many clients
y can detect a change in the tightness of their socks
R. over the ankle area, but this is subjective, not
T objective data. The client should lose some weight
h when furosemide causes fluid and sodium
e excretion.
cli Test Taking Strategy: Note the strategic words “best
e determine effectiveness”. Use data in the question
nt (diminished urine output) and search the options for
re related information regarding an increasing urine
p output.

A. Administering the morphine sulfate
around the clock
B. Encouraging oral fluid intake
C. Encouraging coughing and deep breathing
Correct
D. Maintaining the client in a supine position
Rationale: Morphine sulfate can depress respiration and suppress the
cough reflex, putting the postoperative client at greater risk for
atelectasis and subsequent pneumonia. The client should be
encouraged to cough and deep- breathe to prevent these
postoperative complications. Keeping the client supine is
counterproductive and could lead to atelectasis. Adequate fluid
intake helps liquefy secretions, making their expulsion easier, but
does not prevent atelectasis unless coughing and deep breathing is
also performed. Because the medication is prescribed as needed, it
would not be administered around the clock.
Test-Taking Strategy: Note the strategic word “priority.” Also note that
the client has just undergone surgery and is receiving morphine
sulfate. Use
the ABCs — airway, breathing, and circulation — to find the correct
option.
