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.

The pathophysiology instructor is teaching the nursing students about chronic pancreatitis. What complication of chronic pancrea
user100 [1]

The pathophysiology instructor who is teaching nursing students about chronic pancreatitis should stress upon its complications like <u>pancreatic necrosis,</u> fluid and electrolyte imbalance or disturbances, and septic shock.

Explanation:

The pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis includes destruction of the fibrous pancreatic secretory parenchyma with intra and extracellular loss, obstruction of ducts and transport of pancreatic secretions, and triggering of enzymatic activities.  

These conditions lead to autodigestion and histological destruction of pancreatic tissues leading to necrosis and complete organ damage.

Pancreatic necrosis can result in hemorrhagic or septic shock which can further lead to multiple organ failure. Hence, pancreatic necrosis is a major complication leading to morbidity and mortality among pancreatitis patients.

The structural damages lead to dilatation and malfunctioning of the pancreatic ducts which results in fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
