Answer:

"I'm not really hungry for lunch. I feel so nauseated and tired."

Explanation:

"I'm not really hungry for lunch. I feel so nauseated and tired."

Drug therapy with digoxin and potassium-losing diuretics (thiazides or loop diuretics) may lead to hypokalemia. The presence of hypokalemia while the patient is on digoxin may lead to digoxin toxicity. Signs of early digoxin toxicity include anorexia, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, headache, depression, and visual changes. Slightly swollen ankles are an expected finding with chronic heart failure; frequent urination is an expected effect of the diuretic. The heart rate of 90 beats/minute is normal.

Strong muscles are necessary to reinforce the __________ that hold the bones together.
Amanda [17]

The right answer is Joints (or ligaments more precisely).

Muscle is the contractile structure that produces strength. It has components that allow it to be shortened to create what is called a muscle contraction.

The joint is junction of two parts of the skeleton allowing them relative mobility.

The ligament is an elastic structure that stabilizes the joints. It therefore attaches from one bone to another.
