Even though there are many different kinds of enemas, a soap suds enema is still one of the most popular, particularly for constipation. It consists of distilled water mixed with a tiny bit of soap. Your bowels become somewhat irritated by the soap, which aids in triggering a bowel movement.

Describe the mechanisms of calcium homeostasis: hormones that regulate hypo and hypercalcemia.
topjm [15]

Answer:

The hormones involved in the calcium homeostasis are parathyroid hormone, cholecalciferol and calcitonin.

Explanation:

The maintenance of calcium level in the body is important for the proper functioning of body. The increased level of calcium is known as hypercalcemia and low level of calcium in body is known as hypocalcemia.

Hormones that regulate the level of calcium in blood are as follows:

Parathyroid hormone: The parathyroid hormone stimulate the calcium reabsorption in case of hypocalcemia. The osteoclast bone activity increases and calcium reabsorption from renal tubule, increases the calcium level of the body. This maintains calcium homeostasis in the body.  

Calcitonin: An increase in the calcium ion concentration stimulates the secretion of calcitonin. The calcitonin hormone inhibits the osteoclast bone reabsorption, decreases the blood level in the body.

Cholecalciferol: This is also known as vitamin D metabolites. This hormone is stimulated in case of low calcium levels. The calcium level can be increased in the body by increasing the phosphate and calcium absorption from the gastro intestinal tract.

sveticcg [70]

Assess the client's feelings about alprazolam further.

Treatment for anxiety and panic disorders involves alprazolam. It is a member of the benzodiazepine drug class, which has calming effects on the central nervous system and the brain. It functions by boosting the body's natural chemical's effects (GABA).

When used with other drugs, alprazolam can raise the risk of significant or fatal respiratory issues, drowsiness, or coma. Alprazolam is available as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, an oral disintegrating tablet (a tablet that dissolves fast in the mouth), and an oral liquid concentration.

Typically, two to four times a day is the recommended dosage for the tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and concentrated solution. One daily dose of the extended-release pill is taken, often in the morning.
