    Furosemide Drug Study

    Uploaded by

    Noah Kent Mojica
    Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat edema caused by heart failure, liver or kidney disease, and hypertension. It works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle and distal renal tubule, increasing urinary excretion of water, sodium, and other electrolytes. Common side effects include dehydration, hypokalemia, and hypotension. Nurses should monitor blood pressure and electrolyte levels, encourage potassium intake, and give the medication early in the day to avoid disturbing sleep with increased urination.
