Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged vomiting, diuretics, and nasogastric suction can lead to fluid loss and metabolic alkalosis. Statins do not have an effect on fluid balance and would not lead to metabolic alkalosis. Statins are not known to disturb fluid or electrolyte balance, and therefore, cannot lead to metabolic alkalosis. Prolonged vomiting, diuretics, and nasogastric suction can all lead to fluid and/or electrolyte imbalances, leading to metabolic alkalosis.
