Which of the following medications should not be included in the in-service? (Select All That Apply.)

Furosemide.

NaoxGhe.

Spironolactone.

None of the above.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C

Choice A rationale

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that inhibits the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This results in significant loss of potassium in the urine.

Choice B rationale

NaoxGhe is not a recognized diuretic or medication and should not be included in any in-service discussion.

Choice C rationale

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by antagonizing the effects of aldosterone in the distal tubules, reducing potassium excretion.

Choice D rationale

"None of the above" is not a medication but rather a non-relevant option in this context.
