| Question | Answer |
| 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 |
