I am having a difficult time finding the answer for this question...
1. A nurse is admitting a client who has acute heart failure following myocardial infarction (MI) and is reviewing the provider's orders. Which of the following prescriptions by the provider requires clarification?
a. Morphine sulfate 2 mg IV bolus every 2 hr PRN pain
b. 0.9% normal saline IV at 250 mL/hr continuous
c. Laboratory testing of serum potassium upon admission
d. Bumetanide (Bumex) 1 mg IV bolus every 12 hr
Am I on the right track....
In my mind and rationale... Acute heart failure means fluid overload and pain.... So, I wouldn't question the morphine, or the Bumetanide because its a loop diuretic. I wouldnt question the labs for serum potassium either because of the loop diuretic... which leaves B... 0.9% normal saline IV at 250 mL/hr continuous
