Answer to Question 1

Answers: a, b, d, e
Furosemide is a potent diuretic, especially when given via IVP, and may cause the loss of
electrolytes such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium. These electrolytes will need to be
supplemented if the levels are low. In addition, furosemide may increase serum glucose levels, which
is an issue, considering that M.G. has diabetes. It is not necessary to monitor CBC or coagulation
studies while the patient is on furosemide.

Answer to Question 2

 Increased urine output
 Daily weight, looking for weight loss
 Intake and output (I&O)
 Decreased dependent edema
 Decreased shortness of breath, diminished crackles in the bases of the lungs, decreased work of
breathing, and decreased O2 demands
 Decreased jugular venous distention (JVD)
