question 1 (2.5 points)
match each diuretic category to the appropriate example listed below.
potassium - sparing diuretics

1. aldactone (spironolactone)

osmotic agents

1. osmitrol (mannitol)

thiazides

1. microzide/hctz (hydrochlorothiazide)

loop diuretics

1. lasix (furosemide)

Explanation:

Potassium - sparing diuretics conserve potassium. Aldactone (spironolactone) is an example. Osmotic agents increase osmotic pressure, and Osmitrol (mannitol) is one. Thiazides inhibit sodium - chloride reabsorption, like Microzide/HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide). Loop diuretics act on the loop of Henle, and Lasix (furosemide) is a typical one.

Answer:

Potassium - sparing diuretics: 1. Aldactone (spironolactone)
Osmotic agents: 2. Osmitrol (mannitol)
Thiazides: 3. Microzide/HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide)
Loop diuretics: 4. Lasix (furosemide)
