Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs most likely caused the patient's change in mental status and hyponatremia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Spironolactone. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can cause hyponatremia and mental status changes due to its anti-mineralocorticoid effects. It can lead to increased levels of aldosterone, causing sodium retention and potassium excretion, leading to hyponatremia. Captopril (A) is an ACE inhibitor that does not typically cause hyponatremia. Lovastatin (C) is a statin used for lowering cholesterol and is not known to cause hyponatremia. Triamterene (D) is also a potassium-sparing diuretic, but it is less likely to cause hyponatremia compared to spironolactone.
