Respuesta :

The type of diuretic that the nurse can order is the potassium sparing diuretics. These diuretics functions by preserving potassium when the amount of water that is been passed out of the kidney is increased as the result of the diuretic drug administered. An example of this type of diuretic is Spinorolactone.
