Question

after administering a loop diuretic, a nurse monitors the client for increased urine output. what principle explains the secondary water loss (diuresis) of a loop diuretic?

Answer 1

The correct answer for this question is Osmosis.

Osmotic diuresis is an increase in urine production brought on by the presence of specific chemicals in the tiny kidney tubes. When chemicals like glucose enter the kidney tubules and cannot be reabsorbed, excretion takes place (due to a pathological state or the normal nature of the substance). The compounds raise the osmotic pressure inside the tubule, which causes water to be retained in the lumen and inhibits water absorption, boosting urine production (i.e., diuresis). Therapeutics like mannitol, which is used to improve urine output and decrease extracellular fluid volume, have the similar effect.

By making the blood more osmolar, substances in the circulation can also increase the volume of fluid flowing through the body.
