b) you should ask your provider about your plan
c) the best way to treat your cancer is chemotherapy
d) tell me what you know about chemotherapy

• Tell me what you know about chemotherapy: This
response opens a dialogue, allowing the nurse to assess the
client’s understanding and concerns, and to provide
accurate, supportive education tailored to the client’s needs.
• I have never heard of any holistic treatment that is
effective: This response is dismissive and may shut down
communication.
• You should ask your provider about your plan: This
deflects responsibility and misses an opportunity to engage
with the client directly.
• The best way to treat your cancer is chemotherapy: This
is authoritative and may cause the client to feel pressured
or unheard.

A nurse is administering furosemide 80 mg PO twice-daily
to a client who has pulmonary edema. Which of the
following assessment findings indicates to the nurse that the
medication is effective?
a) Respiratory rate of 24 / min
b) adventitious breath sounds
c) weight loss of 1.8 kg (4 lb) in the past 24 hours
d) elevation in blood pressure
ANS: c) Weight loss of 1.8 kg (4 lb) in the past 24 hours
Rationale:
• Weight loss of 1.8 kg (4 lb) in 24 hours indicates effective
diuresis and fluid removal, which is the intended
therapeutic effect of furosemide, a loop diuretic used to
treat fluid overload in conditions such as pulmonary edema.
, • A respiratory rate of 24/min is still elevated, suggesting
incomplete resolution of symptoms.
• Adventitious breath sounds (such as crackles) indicate
persistent fluid in the lungs, meaning the medication has not
yet been fully effective.
• An elevation in blood pressure would not indicate
improvement and may suggest continued fluid retention or
other complications.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application
REF: Pharmacologic Management of Fluid Volume Excess
OBJ: Evaluate effectiveness of medications used to treat
pulmonary edema
TOP: Nursing Process Step: Evaluation
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity – Pharmacological
and Parenteral Therapies
