A nurse is caring for a client with hyperlipidemia.
Which of the following are considered anti-lipemic medications? (Select All That Apply).

Choice A rationale

Codeine is an opioid used for the treatment of chronic nonproductive cough by decreasing the frequency and intensity. It acts on the brain to reduce the urge to cough, providing symptomatic relief for chronic, dry cough.

Choice B rationale

Codeine is not specifically used to treat allergic rhinitis. Medications such as antihistamines and corticosteroids are more commonly used for this condition.

Choice C rationale

Codeine is not used for non-allergic rhinitis. It is primarily an antitussive agent used to manage chronic cough, not for nasal conditions.

Choice D rationale

This choice is incorrect as codeine has specific indications, including the treatment of chronic nonproductive cough, pain relief, and sometimes as an antidiarrheal.

Choice A rationale

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that acts on the collecting ducts and late distal tubules but not on the loop of Henle.

Choice B rationale

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that works on the distal convoluted tubule, not the loop of Henle.

Choice C rationale

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that acts on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption, leading to increased urine output.

Choice D rationale

Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that primarily acts on the proximal tubule and the descending limb of the loop of Henle.
