This is way better than the tests they give us in my nursing school in community college. Ours is just highly inconsistent and the teachers don't even care.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic commonly used to treat hypertension by promoting the excretion of sodium and water through the kidneys. This process, however, also leads to the excretion of potassium, which can result in hypokalemia (low potassium levels). This is why option B (Hypokalemia) is correct. On the other hand, hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), which is option D, is not a major concern when taking hydrochlorothiazide. In fact, thiazide diuretics tend to increase calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, which means that they can lead to slightly elevated calcium levels but not to a degree that would typically cause concern. The primary electrolyte imbalance associated with thiazide diuretics is hypokalemia.
EKG and ECG are actually different spellings of the same diagnostic test that monitors your heart's electrical activity. EKG is the abbreviation from the German spelling of electrocardiogram (which is elektrokardiogramm in German). The EKG abbreviation came into use because of where the test was initially invented.

Question 1: Isn't hypercalcemia a side effect of hydrochlorothiazide??????
