Question 1 of 5
What are the two main purposes for diuretics?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The two main purposes for diuretics are to decrease fluid and decrease hypertension (lower blood pressure). Diuretics work by increasing urine output, which helps to reduce fluid volume in the body. This decrease in fluid volume leads to a reduction in blood pressure, making diuretics an effective treatment for hypertension. Other choices are incorrect because they either do not correctly describe the main purposes of diuretics or provide contradictory information.
Choice B incorrectly states that diuretics increase blood pressure, which is not true.
Choices C and D also provide incorrect information about the effects of diuretics on fluid balance and blood pressure.
