Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should observe the client for syncope after administering urea. Other adverse reactions associated with the administration of urea include headache, nausea, vomiting, and fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Cramping is an adverse reaction of the drug spironolactone. The nurse should observe the client for photosensitivity after administering triamterene. Blurred vision is an adverse reaction of mannitol.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should know that potassium-sparing diuretics are contraindicated in clients with hyperkalemia and are not recommended for children. Potassium-sparing diuretics should be used cautiously in clients with liver disease, diabetes, or gout, but these conditions do not contraindicate the use of potassium diuretics.
