dietary modifications are necessary. Which of the following responses by the nur se is best?

B Diuretic therapy is aimed at fluid reduction, and depending on the type of diur etic j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7




therapy, electrolyte loss can also occur. This takes place based on the mec hanism of
j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7
