Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic; therefore, it promotes retention of potassium. Furosemide promotes greater water, sodium, and potassium losses than spironolactone.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The risk of ototoxicity increases if loop diuretics are combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics (gentamicin) or cisplatin. No known increased risk of ototoxicity exists when furosemide is taken with codeine, ciprofloxacin, or digoxin.
