Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that blocks water reabsorption in the loop of Henle promoting diuresis. It also causes potassium loss in urine leading to hypokalemia. Checking potassium levels before administration of furosemide prevents worsening already existing hypokalemia.

Hypokalemia causes complications like cardiac dysrhythmias, muscle weakness, and fatigue. The nurse should monitor the client for signs and symptoms of hypokalemia and notify the provider appropriately

A, B, D- furosemide has no effect on cortisol, albumin and bicarbonate.

A. “Warfarin takes several days to work so the IV heparin will be used until the warfarin therapeutic level is reached” B. “I will tell the provider to get a prescription for discontinuing the IV heparin today. C. "The IV heparin increases the effects of the warfarin and decreases the length of your hospital Stay." D. "Both heparin and warfarin work together to dissolve the clots."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Rationale-Warfarin is a coumarin oral anticoagulant. Unlike heparin, warfarin has an onset of action of 4-5 days and requires this duration to give its effect. Before its action takes effect, heparin is required to bridge the gap to prevent clot formation hence the overlap period. IV heparin has no effect on the action of warfarin as an anticoagulant as they have different modes of action
