Question 1 of 5
A 27-year-old woman with a history of high altitude sickness was placed on prophylactic treatment with a diuretic drug prior to going on a hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains. Which of the following urine electrolyte profiles is most consistent with this drug treatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prole P. The diuretic drug would lead to increased urine volume and electrolyte excretion, resulting in a profile consistent with Prole P, which typically shows decreased urine osmolality, increased urine volume, and increased electrolyte excretion. Choice B, Prole Q, typically shows decreased urine volume and electrolyte excretion, which would not be consistent with diuretic use. Choice C, Prole R, typically shows increased osmolality and decreased volume, which is not in line with diuretic effects. Choice D, Prole S, typically shows normal urine electrolyte values, which would not reflect the impact of a diuretic drug.
