ATI PN COMPREHENSIVE PREDICTOR RETAKE
GUIDE; FREQUENTLY TESTED QUESTIONS LATEST
UPDATED 2023-2024
1
A client is receiving furosemide (Lasix) to relieve edema. The nurse should monitor
the client for which response to the medication?
1
Retention of sodium ions
2
Negative nitrogen balance
Correct3
Excessive loss of potassium ions
4
Increase in the urine specific gravity
Furosemide is a potent diuretic used to provide rapid diuresis; it acts in the loop of Henle
and causes depletion of electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium. Furosemide inhibits the
reabsorption, not retention, of sodium. Furosemide does not affect protein metabolism. With
edema, the specific gravity of the fluid more likely will be low.
Test-Taking Tip: Pace yourself when taking practice quizzes. Because most nursing exams
have specified time limits, you should pace yourself during the practice testing period
accordingly. It is helpful to estimate the time that can be spent on each item and still
complete the examination in the allotted time. You can obtain this figure by dividing the
testing time by the number of items on the test. For example, a 1-hour (60-minute) testing
period with 50 items averages 1.2 minutes per question. The NCLEX exam is not a timed
test. Both the number of questions and the time to complete the test varies according to
each candidate's performance. However, if the test taker uses the maximum of 5 hours to
answer the maximum of 265 questions, each question equals 1.3 minutes.
80% of students nationwide answered this question correctly.
