Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for spironolactone and reports that he forgot to tell the provider that he takes over-the-counter supplements. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid which of the following supplements?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Potassium. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which means it helps the body retain potassium. If the client takes potassium supplements along with spironolactone, it can lead to dangerously high levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia), which can be life-threatening.
Therefore, the client should avoid taking additional potassium supplements while on spironolactone.

Incorrect options:
A: Calcium - Calcium supplements do not interact significantly with spironolactone.
C: Iron - Iron supplements do not interact significantly with spironolactone.
D: Magnesium - Magnesium supplements do not interact significantly with spironolactone.
