SECTION 1: CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS
Question 1
A nurse is assessing a client who has heart failure and is receiving
furosemide. Which of the following findings indicates the medication
is effective?
• a. Decreased peripheral edema
• b. Increased blood pressure
• c. Decreased heart rate
• d. Increased jugular venous distention
☑ correct answer: a. Decreased peripheral edema
Rationale: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that reduces fluid volume by
inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle.
Effectiveness is demonstrated by decreased peripheral edema, weight
loss, decreased crackles in lungs, and reduced jugular venous
distention. Blood pressure should decrease, not increase, due to
reduced preload.
Question 2
A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 hours post myocardial infarction.
Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse expect?
• a. Elevated troponin I
• b. Decreased creatine kinase MB
