value do you need to obtain and evaluate before administering
furosemide?
Furosemide(Na+, K+, Cl-) causes a large loss of water, sodium, and
potassium from the body.
-Clients who take furosemide are highly susceptible to hypokalemia.
Therefore, the serum potassium level should be evaluated before
furosemide is administered.
-furosemide type onset time
PO) 30-60 min1-2 hr6-8 hr : slowest

also increases the excretion of potassium.
You have begun IV furosemide treatment for Mrs. Campbell at 20 mg
