Which of the following lists diuretics as examples?

• A. Hydrochlorothiazide, Bumetanide, Spironolactone, Furosemide (Lasix)
• B. Furosemide (Lasix), Hydrochlorothiazide, Bumetanide, Spironolactone
• C. Furosemide, Spironolactone, Bumetanide, Hydrochlorothiazide
• D. Spironolactone, Furosemide (Lasix), Hydrochlorothiazide, Bumetanide

Answer: (B)

Recognizing diuretics by name is what this question tests. The four drugs listed—furosemide, bumetanide, hydrochlorothiazide, and spironolactone—are all diuretics, representing different classes: furosemide and bumetanide are loop diuretics, hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide, and spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Because each option includes these diuretics, any of these lists would correctly show diuretics as examples. The provided answer aligns with this concept: it presents a complete set of diuretics. When studying, use this as a reminder that diuretics come from several classes, all aimed at promoting urine production.
