Which of the following symptoms should be watched for in a patient receiving a loop diuretic?

Correct option is B

Ans (b)
Sol. Increased blood pressure: Loop diuretics typically lower blood pressure by reducing fluid volume, so increased blood pressure is not a symptom to watch for in patients receiving these medications.
Weak irregular pulse: This symptom may indicate electrolyte imbalances, particularly low potassium or magnesium levels, which are common side effects of loop diuretics. Monitoring for such changes is essential in patients taking these medications. This is the correct answer.
Restless and agitation: While these symptoms can occur due to other medical conditions, they are not typically associated with the effects of loop diuretics.
Paresthesias: This refers to sensations such as tingling or numbness, which are not commonly associated with loop diuretics.
