Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale 1:Hypernatremia is not associated with furosemide.
Rationale 2:Symptoms of increased WBCs is incorrect because this is not a side effect of loop diuretics.
Rationale 3:Symptoms of anemia is incorrect because this is not a side effect of loop diuretics.
Rationale 4: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that causes hypokalemia.

Global Rationale: The most common adverse effects from diuretic therapy are electrolyte imbalances on potassium levels. Hypokalemia is the most common adverse effect. Patients should receive a potassium supplement to prevent this adverse effect.
