Diuretics

Pregunta	Respuesta
Loop Diuretics	Furosemide (Lasix) Bumetanide (Bumex) Torsemide (Demadex) -ide
Indication of Loop Diuretics	Fluid overload Pre load issues Edema
Mechanism of Action of Loop Diuretics	Inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride from loop of Henle. Excretes sodium and water.
Side Effects of Loop Diuretics	Hypokalemia Cramps Dehydration
Nursing Actions	Monitor Na and K levels Monitor BUN and creatinine Monitor daily weight Risk for orthostatic hypotension
Potassium Sparing Diuretics	Spironolactone (Aldactone)
Indications of Potassium sparing diuretics	Fluid volume overload
Aldosterone function	Reabsorbs sodium and secretes potassium. This increases water reabsorption
Mechanism of action for K sparing	Blocks aldosterone. Promotes secretion of Na and water and retention of potassium.
Side effects of K Sparing	Hyperkalemia
Nursing Actions	Reduce dietary K intake Monitor F&E Monitor daily weight and vitals Teratogenic
Thiazide	Hydrochlorothiazide-HCTZ
Indications for Thiazide	Fluid overload
Mechanism of Action for Thiazides	Increase Na and water excretion by inhibiting Na reabsorption in the distal tubule of kidney
Side effects of Thiazides	Hypokalemia Dehydration
Nursing actions	Monitor labs and F&E balance Monitor daily weight and vitals Risk for orthostatic hypotension
