The nurse is preparing to administer prescribed bumetanide to a client. Which clinical finding would indicate a therapeutic outcome?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Bumetanide, a loop diuretic, reduces fluid volume, leading to decreased cardiac preload and wall tension, indicating a therapeutic outcome in conditions like heart failure. Increased CVP, decreased GFR, or increased SVR are not desired effects.
