NURS 6521 ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY SAMPLE EXAM WITH QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS A+ GRADE (WALDEN UNIVERSITY)
where sodium goes - (ANSWER)potassium and water tend to follow
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors - (ANSWER)reduce reabsorption of bicarbonate
increased potassium secretion - one of the side effects associated with this class
can cause metabolic acidosis
ex. acetazolamide
loop diuretics - (ANSWER)can cause ototoxicity and worsen gout symptoms
ex. bumetanide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, torsemide
thiazide diuretics - (ANSWER)causes vasodilation
chlorothiazide and hydroclorothiazide + chorthalidone, metolazone, indapamide (same MOA)
can exacerbate gout, and causes HYPERcalcemia
potassium-sparing diuretics - (ANSWER)ex. amiloride triamterene, spironolactone epereonone
osmotic diuretics - (ANSWER)water soluble
increase water excretion
ex. mannitol and urea
can cause volume overload and dehydration
