A client is newly diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which of the following medications are NOT used to treat BPH? (Select All That Apply.)

Choice A rationale

Codeine is an opioid used for the treatment of chronic nonproductive cough by decreasing the frequency and intensity. It acts on the brain to reduce the urge to cough, providing symptomatic relief for chronic, dry cough.

Choice B rationale

Codeine is not specifically used to treat allergic rhinitis. Medications such as antihistamines and corticosteroids are more commonly used for this condition.

Choice C rationale

Codeine is not used for non-allergic rhinitis. It is primarily an antitussive agent used to manage chronic cough, not for nasal conditions.

Choice D rationale

This choice is incorrect as codeine has specific indications, including the treatment of chronic nonproductive cough, pain relief, and sometimes as an antidiarrheal.

Choice A rationale

Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used for heart failure and arrhythmias, not a diuretic.

Choice B rationale

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, preventing hypokalemia.

Choice C rationale

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that can cause hypokalemia by increasing potassium excretion.

Choice D rationale

Captopril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension and heart failure, not a diuretic.
