A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Furosemide, a diuretic, is effective if it increases urinary output, reducing fluid overload in heart failure. Hemoglobin, BUN, and weight changes aren't direct indicators of its efficacy here.
