Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discussing the side effects of medications such as Lasix (furosemide) is an independent nursing action. Nurses play a crucial role in patient education, including explaining medication effects, without needing a physician's direct order to do so. Discontinuing an IV, administering medications, and giving discharge orders typically require a physician's order or are part of a collaborative process with other healthcare team members.
