Rationale: Bumetanide (Bumex) is a loop diuretic that places the client at risk for hypokalemia. The nurse would monitor this client carefully for signs of hypokalemia, monitor serum potassium levels, and encourage intake of high-potassium foods. The other medications listed are potassi-um-sparing diuretics.
