Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing an in-service about diuretics that can cause hypokalemia. Which of the following medications should the nurse include for the in-service?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Furosemide. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that works in the ascending loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption. This action leads to increased excretion of potassium, which can result in hypokalemia. Digoxin (
A) is a cardiac glycoside and can cause hyperkalemia. Spironolactone (
B) is a potassium-sparing diuretic and would not cause hypokalemia. Captopril (
D) is an ACE inhibitor and does not directly affect potassium levels.
