rapid or massive mobilization of fluid. pulmonary edema and ascites

18
Q

Furosemide adverse effects

A

Ototoxicity, HoKalemia, Electrolyte loss

19
Q

With Loop Diurectics watch out for what allergy

A

Sulfa

20
Q

Nursing Implications for Diuretics: monitor for

A

Monitor I&O, K+, weight, vitals, hearing loss (1-24hr)

21
Q

Nursing Implications for Diuretics: teach

A

medicate early in day=decrease nocturia, report hearing loss or signs of gout

22
Q

Osmotic diuretic

A

Mannitol

23
Q

Mannitol produces

A

rapid diureses

24
Q

How does Mannitol work on kidney

A

induce vasodilation which increase GFR and renal plasma flow=preven kidney damage

25
Q

Mannitol treats

A

intracranial and intraocular pressure

26
Q

What happens to manitol at low levels

A

crystalize

27
Q

how to administer Mannitol

A

Parenterally through IV fliter

28
Q

SE of Mannitol

A

Convulsions, thrombophlebitis, & pulmonary congestion

29
Q

Sprinalactone and triamterene are what type of Diuretic

A

Potassuim- Sparing

30
Q

Sprinalactone and Triamteren are given for

A

Edema, HTN, HF, ascites

31
Q

Sprinalctone: the ugly

A

Gynecomastia, amenorrhea, hyperkalemia

32
Q

Triamterene adverse effects

A

reduce folic acid and cause kidney stone, leg cramps

33
Q

Interactions with potassium sparing diuretic

A

Ace-inhibitor, K+ supplement=hyperkalemia. lithium=lithium toxicity NSAIDS=decreases blood flow to kidney=diminished response

34
Q

spironolactone monitor for

A

I&O, K+ and Na+, cardiac dysrhythmias

35
Q

Spironolactone Teach pt.

A

restrict K+ food, take meds w/or after meal for GI upset, notify DR. of menstral irregularities and gynecomastia and impotence

36
Q

Hydrochlorothiazide-what do they do?

A

Increase output of Na+, K+, H2O Also elevate glucose and uric acid

37
Q

Are Thiazides More or less effective than loop diuretic

A

less

38
Q

Thiazides are used w/ what drug to conteract adverse metabolic effects

A

Potassium sparing Diuretic

39
Q

Thiazide AE:

A

HoNatremia, HoChloremia, HoKalemia, Dehydration

40
Q

Thiazide drug interaction

A

Digoxin=slow HR&increase Hrt squeeze also HoKalemia, NSAIDS=decreased diuretic activity, Lithium =accumulation of lithium

41
Q

Thiazide identify high risk pt.

A

Digoxin, Lithium, ant-HTN drugs, CVD, renal impairment, Diabetes, Hx of gout
