Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client that will receive a diuretic for fluid overload. Which of the following diuretics act on the loop of Henle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Furosemide. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that acts on the ascending loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption, leading to increased urine output. Spironolactone (
A) is a potassium-sparing diuretic that acts on the distal tubule. Hydrochlorothiazide (
B) is a thiazide diuretic that acts on the distal convoluted tubule. Mannitol (
D) is an osmotic diuretic that works in the proximal tubule and descending loop of Henle. The other choices do not specifically target the loop of Henle for diuretic action.
