Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When a patient is being treated with furosemide, the nurse weighs the patient daily and reports any increase in weight of greater than 2 pounds in 24 hours to the health care provider. Electrolyte levels must be assessed, but sodium and potassium levels are the priority. There is no particular need to assess ABGs or pupillary response.
