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

Importance :-)

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

Formation :-)

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

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

Contents :-)

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

Hope its helpful :-)

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.

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

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.
