Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Furrowed tongue is a sign of dehydration. Signs of dehydration and hyponatremia include decreased intake and output or output greater than intake. Signs of dehydration may also include possible mental confusion, weak pulse/weak pedal pulses, inelastic skin turgor, and delayed capillary refill.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Serum potassium levels may be altered because of bumetanide therapy and therefore need to be assessed. Lung sounds, orientation level, and vital signs need to be assessed prior to initiation of therapy. Bowel sounds are not generally assessed prior to bumetanide therapy.
