Congestive Cardiac Failure
Congestive Cardiac Failure ( 35 Questions)
This choice is incorrect because bradycardia (slow heart rate) is not a common adverse effect of furosemide, a loop diuretic.
This choice is incorrect because hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) is not a common adverse effect of furosemide. In fact, furosemide can sometimes cause transient hypoglycemia.
This choice is correct. Hypotension (low blood pressure) is a potential adverse effect of furosemide due to its diuretic action. Furosemide causes the excretion of excess fluid, leading to a decrease in blood volume, which can result in hypotension.
This choice is incorrect because a dry, nonproductive cough is associated with ACE inhibitors, not furosemide.
