Answer:

Nervous System

Explanation:

The fact that the injury "damaged nerves" suggests that there was direct injury to the nervous system, which is directly causing Kai's pain & numbness.

The nervous system (in a general sense) is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and all nerves that send and receive signals to and from every part of the body. Damage to sensory nerves can cause pain, tingling, and numbness.

Answer:

Diuretics will remove water from the blood and eliminate it in the urine. Consequently, water will move from the peritoneal cavity into the bloodstream reducing her ascites.

•The mechanism of action of diuretics are

o Osmotic diuretics are substances that are not reabsorbed or that exceed the ability of the tubule to reabsorb it, which increases osmolarity of the urine, and causes water to be drawn into the urine from the ISF.

o Loop diuretics (Lasix) inhibit symporters in the loop of Henle by diminishing sodium chloride uptake. They reduce the normal hyperosmolality of the medullary interstitial fluid, reducing the effects of ADH, resulting in loss of NaCl and water.

o Thiazides act on the distal convoluted tubule to inhibit water reabsorption.

•Her diet is salt-restricted because if salt content in the blood is high, it will cause her to retain water rather than allowing her to eliminate it.

MrRa [10]
I believe that she has Oliguria. It is the medical term for a decreased output of urine. Aside from that, there are many potential causes and the two that we see her are dehydration and a urinary tract obstruction. She is decreasing her normal fluid intake. Your body can't replace the fluids that you're losing. When this happens your kidneys retain as much fluid as they can. As for urinary tract obstruction, she has increased her protein intake. A high-protein diet can inhibit your body from eliminating all the waste products of protein metabolism. This can cause a blockage in your kidneys. This explains why she has flank pain and a high fever.
