Which of the following class of antidiabetic medication may cause fluid retention?
Thiazolidinediones may cause fluid retention through proposed mechanism of increasing reabsorption in the collecting duct of the kidney and increasing vascular permeability in adipose tissue. Bile acid sequestrants work in the intestine to bind bile acids which doesn't affect fluid retention. GLP-1 receptor agonists work to activate these receptors to secrete insulin from beta pancreatic cells/decrease glucagon secretion/ increase satiety and doesn't affect fluid retention. SGLT2 inhibitors actually cause increase of fluid elimination through the kidneys. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors work in the gut to decrease carb absorption/digestion and have no affect on fluid retention.
Which of the following Anti-epileptic medication can cause pancreatitis?
Cases of life-threatening pancreatitis have been reported in both pediatric and adult patients receiving valproic acid or its analogs. Patients should be warned that abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or anorexia can be symptoms of pancreatitis that require prompt medical evaluation. If pancreatitis is diagnosed, valproate should be discontinued.

LN is 84 YOM who is in hospital for a back surgery. His height is 5 feet and 4 inches, weight 85 kg and NKDA.
His past medical history includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, major depression, hypothyroidism and chronic back pain. Post-op day 1, LN's medication includes Dexamethasone 8mg iv q6h with taper dosing, Ondansetron 4mg iv q6h prn for N/V, Levothyroxine 0.075mg po daily, Lisinopril 10mg po daily, Citalopram 20mg po daily, Docusate sodium / Senna 1 tab po twice a day, Bisacodyl 10mg suppository daily prn for constipation, Famotidine 20 mg iv q12hr, Metoclopramide 10mg iv q6h, Metformin 500mg po bid, D51/2NS
with 20K at 125 mls/hour and Hydromorphone PCA at 0.2 mg/hour of basal rate, demand dose 0.1mg. lock-out every 6min, one hour limit 2.2mg/hour. Pertinent morning labs includes serum creatinine 1.4mg/dl, Mg 1.5mg/ dl, K 5.0mmol/L, Na 135mmol/L. Day 3 post-operation LN's pain was much better and only used 3 mg of hydromorphone in the 24hrs.
Physician wants to change to oral morphine. What would be your best recommendation?
Since LN used 3 mg of hydromorphone, this would be equivalent to a total of morphine 60 mg po daily. Since you would start with 70-80% of that dose, Morphine 15mg ER po q12hr and morphine 5mg po q6h prn breakthrough pain would be appropriate regimen.

Which of the following medication may increase LN's potassium?
Lisinopril may increase LN's potassium. One of the warnings/precautions of lisinopril is hyperkalemia. ACE inhibitors block the formation of circulating angiotensin II, which can lead to a decrease in aldosterone secretion that can result in an increase in potassium. Risk factors for hyperkalemia while taking lisinopril include renal impairment, diabetes, and concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium
supplements and/or potassium containing salts. Potassium should be monitored closely when taking any of the other agents listed. Hyperkalemia is not listed in the warnings/precautions section for the other medications.

every 6min, one hour limit 2.2mg/hour. Pertinent morning labs includes serum creatinine 1.4mg/dl, Mg 1.5mg/ dl, K 5.0mmol/L, Na 135mmol/L. The bioavailability of levothyroxine is roughly 50%.
The physician requests you for a dose recommendation to convert her home dose of 75mcg po daily to intravenous.
What would be the appropriate intravenous dose?
Since the bioavailability of levothyroxine is roughly 50% (given in the Question:). To convert
the home dose to intravenous, it would be 50% of the oral dose. So 50% of oral 75 mcg would be 37.5 mcg intravenously.
