Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Morphine is an opioid agonist, not an antagonist. It binds to the mu and kappa receptors to produce its analgesic effects.
B. Morphine sulfate is an opioid analgesic that works by binding to the mu and kappa receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which produces pain relief.
C. This statement is not accurate. Morphine sulfate typically has a stronger analgesic effect than butorphanol, a partial opioid agonist.

This medication works in the distal tubule to block the reabsorption of sodium and chloride and prevents the reabsorption of water. C. This medication reduces intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure by raising serum osmolality and drawing fluid back into the vascular and extravascular space. D. This medication blocks the action of aldosterone (sodium and water retention), which results in potassium retention and the excretion of sodium and water.

Explanation

A. This statement is incorrect because spironolactone is not a loop diuretic and does not act in the loop of Henle. It works in the distal tubules of the kidney.
B. This description is more accurate for thiazide diuretics. Spironolactone works as an aldosterone antagonist and primarily affects sodium and water retention.
C. This description applies to osmotic diuretics like mannitol, not spironolactone.
D. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by blocking aldosterone, preventing sodium and water retention, while promoting the retention of potassium.
