Question 1 of 5
Which of the following diuretics would be contraindicated for a patient diagnosed with familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Triamterene. Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which means it helps retain potassium in the body. In familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis, there is already low potassium levels, so giving a potassium-sparing diuretic like triamterene could further decrease potassium levels and worsen the condition. Mannitol (A) is an osmotic diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide (B) is a thiazide diuretic, and Ethacrynic acid (C) is a loop diuretic, all of which can cause potassium loss and exacerbate hypokalemia in this patient.
