An hour after administering 60 mg of furosemide intravenously (IV), which assessments should the nurse perform to determine the patient’s response to treatment? (Select all that apply.)

Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat fluid retention and high blood pressure by increasing the amount of urine the body makes. Therefore, assessing urinary output is crucial to determine the patient’s response to treatment. Lung sounds and oxygen saturation should also be assessed as furosemide is often used to treat edema caused by heart failure. Improved lung sounds and oxygen saturation can indicate a reduction in fluid buildup in the lungs.
