5 Written Questions

1. (POTASSIUM SPARING DIURETIC)
   S/E: Dehydration, Dizziness, HYPERKALEMIA
   Diet low in potassium since we are sparing potassium. Do not use salt substitues b/c they are made of pure potassium. We do not want to cause hyperkalemia.
2. -Less effective than loop diuretics, but do not cause hypokalemia
   -Able to produce diuresis without adversely affecting blood potassium levels
   -Normally, sodium and potassium are exchanged in the distal tubule
   -Potassium sparing diuretics block this exchange
3. (THIAZIDE DIURETIC)
   S/E: Generally minor and rarely cause d/c of therapy, Dehydration, Hypotension, Need to check electrolytes for:
   HYPOKALEMIA
4. ...
5. (LOOP DIURETIC)
   S/E: Dehydration,Thirst, dry mouth, HA, weight loss
   HYPOKALEMIA, Hypotension, Dizziness, Fainting
   Ototoxicity: toxic to the ears for balance or hearing loss.
