NURS 180 Week 4 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
Name a high ceiling loop diuretic - ANSWER Furosemide
What is the purpose of Furosemide? - ANSWER Block reabsorption of sodium
and chloride and prevent reabsorption of water, causes extensive diuresis even
when severe renal impairment
What are the uses of Furosemide? - ANSWER Pulmonary edema, edema cause
by liver, cardiac, or kidney disease or hypertension
What are complications of furosemide? - ANSWER Dehydration, hyponatremia,
hypochloremia, hypotension, oxotoxicity, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia,
hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia, hypomangnesemia, decrease in HDL cholesterol
levels, increase in LDL cholesterol levels
What should be monitored for furosemide? - ANSWER dehydration, blood
pressure, orthostatic hypotension, tinnitus, cardiac status and potassium levels,
blood glucose, uric acid, calcium, magnesium, and lipid levels
How does digoxin interact with furosemide? - ANSWER digoxin toxicity can
occur in hypokalemia
How does antihypertensives interact with furosemide? - ANSWER can have
hypotensive effect
, How do NSAIDs interact with furosemide? - ANSWER decrease blood flow to
the kidneys, which reduce effectiveness of diuretics
How can lithium toxicity occur while taking furosemide? - ANSWER
Hyponatremia occurs
Name the thiazide diuretics drug - ANSWER Hydrochlorothiazide, -thiazide
suffix
What is the purpose of Hydrochlorothiazide? - ANSWER Blocks the
reabsorption of sodium and chloride, and prevents the reabsorption of water
What is the first choice of drug for hypertension? - ANSWER Thiazide diuretics
What are complications of Hydrochlorothiazide? - ANSWER Dehydration and
hyponatremia, hypokalemia and hypochloremia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia,
hypomagnesmia, increased lipids
Which diuretic does not cause ototoxicity? - ANSWER Hydrochlorothiazide
Name the potassium-sparing diuretic - ANSWER Spironolactone
What is the purpose of Spironolactone? - ANSWER blocks the action of
aldosterone(sodium and water retention) which results in potassium retention,
and the excretion of sodium and water
