A nurse is caring for a client that will receive a diuretic. Which of the following diuretics act on the distal tubule?
Correct Answer: D

A) acts on the loop of Henle, Spironolactone (
B) is a potassium-sparing diuretic that acts on the collecting duct, and Mannitol (
C) is an osmotic diuretic that acts on the proximal tubule and descending loop of Henle.
