Administer the prescribed enoxaparin (Lovenox).

  • The anticoagulant enoxaparin sodium is sold under brand names such as Lovenox. It is used to treat and prevent pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, especially during pregnancy and after some types of surgery.
  • Heart attacks and acute coronary syndromes are also treated. A prescription drug called Lovenox is used to treat and prevent signs and symptoms of chest pain and blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) (angina). Lovenox can be taken alone or with other medicines.
  • Lovenox belongs to a class of drugs known as cardiovascular and blood anticoagulants. Tell your doctor if you have side effects that bother you or that don't go away.

Therefore, enoxaparin must be injected in such cases.

Consumption of alcohol, particularly larger volumes, causes increased urination. This is primarily due to inhibition of the secr
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

ADH, <em>also called arginine vasopressin</em> is a hypothalamic hormone (storaged in the posterior pituitary) that <u>regulates body’s osmotic balance</u>.

ADH increases the amount of solute-free water reabsorbed from the one filtrated in the kidneys.

Also, increases peripheral vascular resistance due to the constriction of arterioles, and therefore raises blood pressure.  

<u>Ethanol (alcohol)</u> reduces secretion of ADH by blocking voltage-gated calcium channels. As a result, <em>urine volume increases and this may cause dehydration. </em>

A taxi driver who is a serial killer kidnaps his passenger and force the passenger to play the game of death with him.
ella [17]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see now that there is a 50% chance of the taxi driver picking the poisonous pill each time. This seems like a high chance at first, but if you keep on doing it over and over again the probability is smaller and smaller that he will survive. The first time it is 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, and it gets smaller and smaller. Therefore, there must be something else going on for this taxi driver to have such good luck.

We see that passenger is the one who picks it because if the taxi driver picked it, it would be rigged. However, there has to be a way that the passenger always dies. Therefore, it makes the most sense that the poison isn't actually in the pills, but in something else.

We see that each passenger had to swallow the pill with water. When they say that one of them is harmless and the other one is poisonous, they did not clarify that they were talking about the pills. They could have easily been talking about the glasses of water. And, the passenger does not pick which glass of water to drink, so it could easily be rigged so that they are drinking poisoned water.

Sherlock could have easily asked to swallow the pill with his own water, another drink, or to swallow it without any liquid.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

F the plankton contain 100,000 kcal of energy, about how much energy will the manta ray obtain from eating the starfish? 10 kcal
AveGali [126]

Answer:

100kcal

Explanation:

The law in energy transfer in the food chain is that only 10% of total energy is transferred.

The food chain between the plankton and starfish follows;

Plankton - Mussels and Oysters - Starfishes - Manta Ray

Plankton being the producer produces 100,000kcal

Mussels/Oysters get 10% of 100,000kcal= 10,000kcal.

Starfish gets 10% of 10,000kcal = 1,000kcal

Manta Ray being the final consumer of starfish gets 10% of 1,000kcal = 100kcal
