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.

Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ? ​
stich3 [128]

Introduction :-)

The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.

Importance :-)

  1. <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
  2. <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
  3. <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
  4. <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>

<em></em>

Formation :-)

<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.

The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.

<em>Contents :-)</em>

At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)

Vilka [71]

Incorporate more schools that serve breakfast.

The Department of Health and Human Services in the US has proposed a program called Healthy People 2020 to encourage the prevention of acute and chronic illness for all US residents.

One of the more than 1300 specific goals of Healthy People 2020 is to increase the number of schools that serve breakfast. This is a crucial goal because, regrettably, not all parents provide their kids with a healthy breakfast because of financial hardship, carelessness, etc.

Children would benefit from breakfast being served at school either for free or at a reduced cost since they would start the day with nourishment and better health and nutrition from a nutritious breakfast.

Kaylis [27]

Sanitizing Means to apply a product that destroys enough germs to reduce the risk of becoming ill.

<h3>What is the process of reducing bacteria to safe levels to decrease the risk of infection?</h3>
  • Disinfection is the reduction of bacteria, viruses, or fungi to a predetermined concentration.
  • In most cases, sterilization, or the complete elimination of all microorganisms, is not required or possible.
  • Under most conditions, the actual concentration of microorganisms required to cause a disease (or some other criterion) is not well-defined, and disinfection procedures have evolved primarily on an empirical basis.
  • Sanitizers containing chlorine. Compounds containing chlorine. In food processing and handling applications, chlorine in various forms is the most commonly used sanitizer.
  • Liquid chlorine, hypochlorites, inorganic chloramines, and organic chloramines are all common chlorine compounds.
