Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

C
Spironolactone is a non-potassium-wasting diuretic; therefore, if the patient has a serum potas-sium level of 6 mEq/L, indicating hyperkalemia, an order for this drug should be questioned.
Bumetanide and furosemide are potassium-wasting diuretics and would be appropriate to admi-nister in a patient with hyperkalemia.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a partially potassium-sparing diuretic and would not be contraindicated in this patient.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.
