The nurse is administering Furosemide 40 mg PO to a client with peripheral edema. Which method should the nurse use to best evaluate the client's response to this medication?

The correct answer is C: Perform daily weights. This method is the best way to evaluate the client's response to Furosemide as it directly measures fluid loss. Monitoring weight changes helps assess the effectiveness of diuretic therapy in reducing edema. Auscultating breath sounds (B) is important for assessing respiratory status but does not directly evaluate the client's response to Furosemide. Monitoring serum sodium levels (A) is important for assessing electrolyte imbalances but does not directly assess the effectiveness of the diuretic in reducing edema. Taking blood pressure (D) is important but does not provide a direct measure of fluid loss.
