I wanted to contact Hogan myself as I love the program level of difficulty but, like someone else commented, many rationals do not match the answers given. Makes me wonder how accurate the entire program is. Here is a good example. We all know lasix use long term can cause an electrolyte imbalance of potassium. The answer is respiratory depression(nothing to do with potassium) but the rational states "respiratory depression is not associated with this medication" but it is labeled as the answer, the other three answers are wrong as well. I think they omitted the correct answer altogether.

Here is the question as presented :

For which of the following complications related to electrolyte imbalance should the nurse assess in a client who has been taking furosemide (lasix) for two years?

1. tetany

2. respiratory depression

3. nausea and vomiting

4. diabetes

the rational says

A client who is on long-term diuretic therapy is more likely to suffer effects of potassium depletion. Tetany is associated with low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia), which can accompany hypokalemia. Nausea and vomiting are nonspecific complaints not directly associated with loop diuretic therapy. Diabetes is not related to Lasix administration, although the use of this loop diuretic can cause the client to become hyperglycemic. Respiratory depression is not associated with use of this medication.

So what is the answer, Cardiac arhythmias, I don't know but the answer given is not right, is it?
