Feedback
A There are several types of diuretic medications that have different mechanisms
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p
of action; therefore, this statement is not accurate. It is critical to know the
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p
specific type of diuretic therapy that is prescribed in order to provide a logical r

esponse.
B Diuretic therapy is aimed at fluid reduction, and depending on the type of di
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p
uretic therapy, electrolyte loss can also occur. This takes place based on the m

echanism of action for the prescribed therapy. This is not an accurate stateme
