Who is at an increased risk for complications
when taking a loop diuretic?
Clients with cardiovascular disease, renal disease,
diabetes, gout, or pregnancy.
What are the major adverse effects of loop
diuretic?
, Fluid and electrolyte imbalances (hypokalemia,

hyperuricemia.
What are the major adverse effects of metorpolol
Bradycardia, AV heart block, heart failure, rebound
cardiac excitation with abrupt withdrawal, postural
hypotension, and bronchoconstriction.
In diabetics, it can mask signs and symptoms of
hypoglycemia and prevent glycogenolysis.
CNS effects such as depression, insomnia, and
nightmares.
What are the major interactions?
The calcium channel blockers verapamil and
diltiazem can intensify the cardiosuppressant effects
