,QUESTION 1 s




A client with heart failure is prescribed furosemide. Which laboratory
s s s s s s s s s




value should the nurse monitor most closely?
s s s s s s s




a. Serum sodium
s s




b. Serum potassium
s s




c. Serum calcium
s s




d. Serum magnesium
s s




Correct Answer: b. Serum potassium
s s s s




Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that causes significant potassium
s s s s s s s s s




loss through the kidneys, leading to hypokalemia. Hypokalemia can
s s s s s s s s s




precipitate cardiac dysrhythmias, especially in clients taking digoxin. While
s s s s s s s s s




sodium, calcium, and magnesium should also be monitored, potassium is the
s s s s s s s s s s s




most critical electrolyte to monitor due to the high risk of life-threatening
s s s s s s s s s s s s




complications.

QUESTION 2 s




A client presents with chest pain that is relieved by rest and sublingual
s s s s s s s s s s s s




nitroglycerin. This finding is most consistent with which condition?
s s s s s s s s s




a. Unstable angina
s s




b. Stable angina

c. Myocardial infarction
s s




d. Pericarditis

, Correct Answer: b. Stable angina
s s s s




Rationale: Stable angina is characterized by chest pain that is predictable,
s s s s s s s s s s




occurs with exertion or stress, and is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.
s s s s s s s s s s s s




Unstable angina occurs at rest or with minimal exertion and is not readily
s s s s s s s s s s s s s




relieved. Myocardial infarction pain is not relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.
s s s s s s s s s s s




Pericarditis pain is typically sharp, positional, and relieved by leaning
s s s s s s s s s s




forward.

QUESTION 3 s




Which electrocardiogram (ECG) finding is most characteristic of
s s s s s s s




hypokalemia?
s




a. Peaked T waves
s s s




b. Prolonged PR interval
s s s




c. U waves
s s




d. ST segment elevation
s s s




Correct Answer: c. U waves
s s s s




Rationale: Hypokalemia is classically associated with the presence of U
s s s s s s s s s




waves, which are small deflections following the T wave. Peaked T waves are
s s s s s s s s s s s s s




characteristic of hyperkalemia. Prolonged PR interval can occur with
