A nurse is providing an in-service on potassium-wasting diuretics for the unit.
Which of the following medications should not be included in the in-service? (Select All That Apply.)

Furosemide.

NaoxGhe.

Spironolactone.

None of the above.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C

Choice A rationale

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that inhibits the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This results in significant loss of potassium in the urine.

Choice B rationale

NaoxGhe is not a recognized diuretic or medication and should not be included in any in-service discussion.

Choice C rationale

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by antagonizing the effects of aldosterone in the distal tubules, reducing potassium excretion.

Choice D rationale

"None of the above" is not a medication but rather a non-relevant option in this context.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Insulin is a medication used to manage blood sugar levels in clients with diabetes. It is not appropriate for the management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as it has no anticoagulant properties.

Choice B rationale

Warfarin (Coumadin) is an oral anticoagulant commonly prescribed for the long-term management of DVT. It is suitable for clients who are unable to self-administer injections, making it a practical option for discharge.

Choice C rationale

Heparin is an anticoagulant that is typically administered via injection or IV. For clients unable to self-inject at home, it is not the best choice for managing DVT after discharge.

Choice D rationale

Enoxaparin (Lovenox) is a low-molecular-weight heparin that is also administered via injection. For clients unable to perform self-injections, this medication would not be the most appropriate option for home management of DVT.

A. Metformin. B. Levothyroxine. C. Insulin Lispro. D. NPH Insulin.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Metformin is an oral diabetes medication that can interact with iodine-containing contrast dye, potentially leading to lactic acidosis.

Choice B rationale

Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.

Choice C rationale

Insulin Lispro is a rapid-acting insulin used to control blood sugar levels in diabetes and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.

Choice D rationale

NPH Insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin used to control blood sugar levels and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.
