Question

The primary action of diuretics in hypertension management is __________.

• A. reducing urine output
• B. reducing volume of blood
• C. inhibiting calcium channels
• D. increasing heart rate

Hint:

Lowering blood volume reduces cardiac output, which helps control blood pressure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Diuretics increase the excretion of sodium and water, which reduces the total blood volume. This decrease in blood volume helps lower blood pressure, making diuretics effective in managing hypertension.
