Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cephalosporins and loop diuretics both have the potential to cause nephrotoxicity, which can lead to impaired renal function and potentially acute kidney injury. Therefore, it is important for the nurse to monitor patient kidney function and electrolyte levels closely while on these medications. Hepatic toxicity, ototoxicity, and splenotoxicity are not typically associated with these medications.
