    Furosemide is a loop diuretic given intravenously to treat pulmonary edema. It works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle and distal renal tubule, increasing urine output. Common adverse effects include dizziness, headache, hearing loss, and hypotension. Nurses must monitor vital signs, administer the medication correctly, and check for fluid balance and electrolyte changes in response to treatment.
