Medicine
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. give furosemide.

Explanation:

Digoxin is a drug that uses in the cardiovascular condition. It inhibits the Na-K ATPase enzyme, which functions to maintain the intracellular environment by regulating the entry and exit of sodium and potassium.  

Digoxin toxicity may occur due to the low level of potassium (inside the cell)due to the inhibitaion of the sodium-potassium pump.  Furosemide is a diuretic drug that decreases salt concentration (such as ions) in the body by increasing urine output. and causes a low level of potassium in the body

Thus, furosemide increases digoxin toxicity as during low levels of potassium, digoxin can easily bind with the sodium-potassium pump and shows severe effects.

In a protein supplement that contains 154 total kcalories, 11 grams of protein, and 17 grams of carbohydrate, how many kcalories
Llana [10]

Answer:

In this protein supplement there are 11 grams of protein which contribute with 44 kcalories. Therefore, the percentage of kcalories coming from protein in this particular supplement is 28,5 %.

Explanation:

Each gram of protein contributes 4 kcal (calories), so 11 grams of proteins x 4 kcal/gram = 44 kcal.

The total amount of kcalories is 154, so 44 kcal / 154 kcal x 100 = 28,5%.

When it comes to protein supplements is very important to realise how many proteins are being consumed and how many total calories this supplement has, for the simple reason that it might be not help to reach the protein goal for a particular individual, but instead, it might be providing too many calories that come from non-protein compounds.

Hershey and Chase concluded that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material. They determined that a protective protein coat was formed around the bacteriophage, but that the internal DNA is what conferred its ability to produce progeny inside a bacterium.
