Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Calcium carbonate does not treat hypoglycemia. It is used to address low calcium levels, not blood sugar levels.
B. Calcium carbonate is not used to treat hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy (e.g., levothyroxine).
C. Calcium carbonate is commonly used to treat hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood) and to prevent bone loss in conditions such as osteoporosis.
D. Calcium carbonate is not used to treat hyperkalemia (high potassium levels). Treatments for hyperkalemia may include medications like sodium bicarbonate or calcium gluconate, but not calcium carbonate.

A. Mannitol B. Spironolactone (Aldactone) C. Furosemide (Lasix) D. Metformin

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic, and although it can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, it does not specifically cause hypokalemia as a primary side effect.
B. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, so it is less likely to cause hypokalemia. In fact, it can cause hyperkalemia.
C. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that increases urine output and can lead to potassium loss, causing hypokalemia. This is a common complication of loop diuretics.
D. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication and is not a diuretic, so it is not associated with hypokalemia.
