Furosemide (Lasix) - ANSWER-A potent diuretic used for rapid or massive
mobilization of fluids, indicated for congestive heart failure with respiratory
distress and pulmonary edema.
Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL) - ANSWER-A diuretic less rapid than
Furosemide, not indicated for pulmonary edema.
Mannitol (Osmitrol) - ANSWER-Indicated for patients with increased
intracranial pressure, must be discontinued if signs of pulmonary congestion or
heart failure occur.
Spironolactone (Aldactone) - ANSWER-Not indicated for pulmonary edema, a
potassium-sparing diuretic.
Digoxin - ANSWER-Used for congestive heart failure, can cause fatal
dysrhythmias especially with low potassium levels.
Potassium level of 3.5 mEq/L - ANSWER-Low potassium level that can trigger
fatal dysrhythmias, especially in patients taking Digoxin.
, Potassium level of 6 mEq/L - ANSWER-High potassium level indicating
hyperkalemia, contraindicating Spironolactone use.
ACE inhibitor captopril (Capoten) with Spironolactone - ANSWER-Should not be
administered together due to potential elevation of potassium levels.
Bumetanide (Bumex) - ANSWER-A potassium-wasting diuretic appropriate for
patients with hyperkalemia.
Gentamicin (Garamycin) - ANSWER-An ototoxic drug that, when taken with
Furosemide, can increase the risk of hearing loss.
Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL) in older adults - ANSWER-Should not be
given to patients with severe renal impairment.
Elevated creatinine clearance - ANSWER-A concern when considering the
administration of Hydrochlorothiazide to patients.
Thiazides - ANSWER-May elevate serum glucose in diabetic patients.
LDL cholesterol - ANSWER-Increased by thiazides, but not a risk if levels are
low.
Spironolactone - ANSWER-Potassium-sparing diuretic to counteract potassium-
wasting effects.
Renal artery stenosis - ANSWER-Concern with ACE inhibitors due to potential
severe renal insufficiency.
