    Furosemide is a loop diuretic used to treat edema, heart failure, cirrhosis, and hypertension. It works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased sodium excretion. Potential adverse effects include dizziness, headache, electrolyte imbalances, and dehydration. Nurses monitor for side effects and administer the drug with food or milk to reduce GI upset, adjusting dosage as needed based on the patient's fluid status and response.
