the following adverse effects?
Answer Choices:
A. Hypotension
B. Hyperkalemia
C. Tinnitus
D. Bradycardia
Rationale:
Answer: A. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause hypotension by decreasing

pressure and electrolyte levels, especially potassium, which can be depleted by the
medication. Tinnitus and bradycardia are not common adverse effects of
furosemide.
