A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure. Exhibits Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. The client is at risk of developing dropdownanddropdown.

Rationale for Correct Answers: Fluid volume deficit: High-dose IV diuretics are causing excess fluid loss. Clinical evidence: increased urination, light-headedness, mild fatigue, and improved crackles suggest effective diuresis but also risk of hypovolemia. Signs of fluid volume deficit include hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, and orthostatic symptoms. Dysrhythmias: The client’s potassium is 3.3 mEq/L (hypokalemia). Hypokalemia increases the risk of life-threatening dysrhythmias, especially in patients with underlying heart disease. Diuretic-induced electrolyte imbalances are a common cause. Rationale for Incorrect Answers: Respiratory distress: Client’s lungs have improved (crackles only at bases), and oxygen saturation is stable at 95%. Not an immediate risk at this time. Acute kidney injury (AKI): BUN and creatinine are within normal limits. Although aggressive diuresis can eventually contribute to AKI, current labs do not indicate AKI, so this is not the most immediate risk.
