Cardiovascular Pharmacology NCLEX RN Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is administering prescribed furosemide to a client. Which of the following clinical manifestations would be consistent with the client developing fluid volume deficit? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause fluid volume deficit, leading to tachycardia (increased heart rate to compensate for reduced volume), decreased urine output (due to dehydration), and tenting of the skin (a sign of dehydration). Bradypnea and weight gain are not typical signs of fluid volume deficit.
