Question 1 M.C., a 61-year-old woman with no known drug allergies (NKDA) is hospitalized with a chief complaint of increasing shortness of breath (SOB) and orthopnea during the past week. She has been treated previously for heart failure and has not taken any medication during the past 2 weeks. M.C. has severe (4+) pedal edema and is in respiratory distress. Laboratory tests were ordered and reported back as follows: ? Sodium (Na), 123 mEq/L ? ? Potassium (K), 4.1 mEq/L ? Chloride (Cl), 90 mEq/L ? Carbon dioxide (CO2), 28 mEq/L ? Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 30 mg/dL ? ? Serum creatinine (SCr), 1.3 mg/dL ? ? Fasting glucose, 260 mg/dL ?
