Question 1 of 5
Which of the following diuretics would be contraindicated for a patient with ascites and liver cirrhosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Triamterene. Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which can lead to hyperkalemia. Patients with liver cirrhosis often have impaired liver function, leading to decreased potassium excretion. Hyperkalemia can worsen in these patients and can be dangerous. Mannitol (A) is an osmotic diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide (B) is a thiazide diuretic, and Ethacrynic acid (C) is a loop diuretic, all of which can be used in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites, but Triamterene should be avoided due to the risk of hyperkalemia.
