Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Potassium-sparing diuretics such as spironolactone are contraindicated for use in patients with anuria or renal impairment.

ANS: B
Loop diuretics used in conjunction with digoxin can lead to electrolyte disturbances that predis-pose the patient to hypokalemia-induced arrhythmias.
