Which of the following is a drug that produces vasodilation, improves cardiac output, and lowers blood pressure?

Choice A reason: Lorazepam treats anxiety, not schizophrenia’s hallucinations or delusions. Antipsychotics are key, per nursing standards. This is universally distinct, errors in targeting schizophrenia symptoms.

Choice B reason: Haloperidol, an antipsychotic, manages schizophrenia’s psychotic symptoms effectively. This fits, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally used, distinctly critical for hallucination control in practice.

Choice C reason: Clozapine, an antipsychotic, treats resistant schizophrenia with monitoring. This applies, per nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly effective for severe cases of the disorder.

Choice D reason: Sertraline addresses depression, not schizophrenia’s core symptoms. Antipsychotics are needed, per nursing pharmacology. This errors universally, distinctly unrelated to schizophrenia treatment.

Choice A reason: Lasix increases sodium and water excretion, a true diuretic effect. Potassium-sparing is false, per nursing pharmacology. This holds universally, distinctly accurate.

Choice B reason: Lasix depletes potassium, causing hypokalemia; this is true. Potassium-sparing isn’t, per nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly a known risk.

Choice C reason: Lasix isn’t potassium-sparing; it’s a loop diuretic that loses potassium. This is the exception, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, errors in classification.

Choice D reason: Slow position changes prevent Lasix-induced hypotension; this is true. Potassium-sparing is wrong, per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a safety measure.
