CCRN-Adult Exam Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion:
Question #: 12
Topic #: 2
A nurse is performing medication reconciliation during a patient's admission. To determine the patient's current understanding of the medication furosemide (Lasix), which of the following is the best statement by the nurse?
A.
"Can you explain to me what furosemide (Lasix) does for you?"
B.
"Do you take the furosemide (Lasix) for your hypertension?"
C.
"Which of your medications help to remove extra fluid?"
D.
"When is the best time of day to take furosemide (Lasix)?"
Asking the patient to explain what furosemide (Lasix) does for them assesses their understanding and allows the nurse to gauge their knowledge and correct any misconceptions. This method is more effective than asking yes/no questions, as it provides a comprehensive insight into the patient's medication literacy.
