Question
Answer
Diuretics   show
🗑
show By increasing glomerular filtration rate and decreasing tubule reabsorption  
🗑
show Thiazides, High Ceiling (loop), Osmotics, Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors, Potassium Sparing  
🗑
show By decreasing the reabsorption of Mg, Na, Cl, water, carbonic acid, and K. Also, it increases the reabsorption of glucose, Ca and lipids.  
🗑
What is the prototype for thiazides?   show
🗑
What are some clinical uses for diuretics?   show
🗑
HCTZ   show
🗑
What is the prototype for high ceiling diuretics?   show
🗑
How do high ceiling/loop diuretics work?   show
🗑
show They are not a strong diuretic, they take 2 hours to start working, they can be used to treat hypercalcemia in the urine, they are a poor choice to use on diabetics and risk of allergy in people who are allergic to sulfonamides.  
🗑
What are common adverse effects of diuretics?   show
🗑
show heart failure, renal failure, poor circulation  
🗑
Polyurea   show
🗑
show small urine output  
🗑
Anurea   show
🗑
Edema   show
🗑
Hypokalemia   show
🗑
show By IV only  
🗑
mannitol/Osmitrol   show
🗑
show abnormal potassium affects the conduction of cardiac nerve impulses and myocardial contraction  
🗑
How do potassium sparing diurectics work?   show
🗑
What is a risk with using an osmotic diuretic?   show
🗑
show stronger/faster onset of action, sodium restriction is often needed, treats hypercalcemia, is ototoxic  
🗑
Which diuretic would you use to treat anuria, increased IOP, and/or edema?   show
🗑
show potassium sparing diuretic  
🗑
Explain how osmotic diuretics affect the blood volume   show
🗑
How do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work?   show
🗑
What is the prototype for the osmotic diuretic?   show
🗑
What are clinical uses for osmotic diurectics?   show
🗑
How do osmotic diuretics work?   show
🗑
show There is the potential for hyperkalemia, potassium supplements are not needed, monitor hr and rhythm.  
🗑
What is the potassium sparing diuretic?   show
🗑
Why is a sodium restriction needed in conjunction with use of a high ceiling diuretic?   show
🗑
furosemide/Lasix   show
🗑
show b/c it increases serum gluose and lipids  
🗑
Why are thiazides useful in treating elevated urine calcium?   show
🗑
show acetazolamide/Diamox  
🗑
show Reduces IOP and ICP (intercranial pressure)also decreases blood pH.  
🗑
show I&O, weight, edema, serum electrolytes, neuromuscular status, serum glucose and mental status.  
🗑
When your pt is on a diuretic, what should you see on thier I&O?   show
🗑
show daily weight  
🗑
Where is edema most prevalent?   show
🗑
show Thiazides  
🗑
show electrolyte imbalance; impulse conduction and muscle activity depend on specific concentrations of electrolytes.  
🗑
show confusion or decreased alertness.  
🗑
What are signs of hypovolemia?   show
🗑
What are signs of hypokalemia?   show
🗑
show always dilute and give slowly  
🗑
In a pt w/hyponatremia, what would you assess for?   show
🗑
In a pt w/hypocalcemia what would you assess for?   show
🗑
show depressed neuromuscular function  
🗑
What do you need to do to treat hypocalcemia?   show
🗑
How do you treat hypercalcemia?   show
🗑
show take diuretics in the morning, report muscle weakness, palpations, muscle cramps, confusion, reduce sodium intake (as ordered), salt subtitutes contain potassium  
🗑
acetazolamide/Diamox   show
🗑
Which group of pts are at higher risk for sodium depletion?   show
🗑
