A client is starting to take furosemide and asks the nurse. "When is the best time to take this medication?" What is the nurse's response?

A.

0800

B.

1900

C.

2200

D.

1600

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

a) Taking furosemide at 0800 is often recommended to promote diuresis during the day, allowing  the client to manage fluid balance while awake and minimizing the need for frequent urination  during the night. 

b) Taking furosemide at 1900 may contribute to nocturnal diuresis, potentially affecting sleep. 

c) Taking furosemide at 2200 is not ideal as it may lead to increased nighttime urination. 

d) Taking furosemide at 1600 may not provide the optimal timing to balance diuretic effects  throughout the day.
