  • decrease Na, H2O, and K.

Term
How should metolozone be given
Definition
be given 30 min before giving the loop diuretic (menaide- which works in Loop of H)
Term
What are some basic nursing implication for diuretic drugs?
Definition

 

  • BP, daily weight, I/O- Na, K, Cl(with thiazides) , diuretics given in the morning. K > 3 mEq/L- they dont need K supplement. eat potassium rich food (banana, dates, orage, broccoli, meat), drink enough H2O.
  • dont eat liquorish with thiazide (b/c can cause hypokalemia
