Aphysician orders spironolactone, 50 mg by mouth four times daily, for a client with fluid retention caused by cirrhosis. which finding indicates that the drug is producing a therapeutic effect?

If the choices are:
a. Loss of 2.2 lb (1 kg) in 24 hours
b. Serum sodium level of 135 mEq/L
c. Serum potassium level of 3.5 mEq/L
d. Blood pH of 7.25

The answer is letter A.
Because the daily weight measurement is the most accurate indicator of fluid status; a loss of 2.2 lb (1 kg) indicates loss of 1 L of fluid. A blood pH of 7.25 indicates acidosis, an adverse reaction to spironolactone.

Used to water and cool climates, probably not thick coated or fluffy. they most likely have thin coats and have to survive to find food. sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for..: )
