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.

Which type of burn is BEST described as having blisters, scarring, and more pain? A. first-degree burn B. second-degree burn C.
kodGreya [7K]
The answer is B: second degree burn. 

It's not A because there wouldn't be blisters from a first degree, and it't not C, because a third degree burn wouldn't hurt because it would've melted your nerve endings, and it's not D because there is no such thing as a fourth degree burn. Hope this helps!
