A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and is receiving IV furosemide. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following electrolyte imbalances?

A. Hyperchloremia is not typically associated with furosemide. It is a diuretic that causes the loss of sodium, chloride, and water, and does not typically increase chloride levels. B. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that increases urine output, which can lead to the loss of potassium and other electrolytes. This increases the risk of hyperuricemia (high levels of uric acid in the blood), especially in clients with pre-existing conditions like gout. C. Hypernatremia is uncommon with furosemide use, as it tends to lower sodium levels due to increased urinary excretion. D. Hypercalcemia is not a typical side effect of furosemide. This diuretic may lead to hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) due to increased calcium excretion.
