Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a list of current medications for a client who is starting therapy with furosemide. Which of the following medications should the nurse identify as being contraindicated?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lithium carbonate. Furosemide can increase lithium levels, leading to lithium toxicity. Albuterol, levothyroxine, and cetirizine do not have significant interactions with furosemide. Albuterol is a bronchodilator, levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone replacement, and cetirizine is an antihistamine.
Therefore, the nurse should identify lithium carbonate as contraindicated due to the potential for serious adverse effects when combined with furosemide.
