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.

GREYUIT [131]

Placing of the hand above the chest is the first step while administering CPR after ensuring that the environment is safe.

When the heart stops beating, CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving emergency operation. After cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can increase survival rates by a factor of two to three.

A person's heartbeat will cease if they are not breathing. To aid with circulation and to assist the body to receive oxygen, use CPR (chest compressions and rescue breaths). Following are the steps of CPR:

  1. Placing of the hand above the chest.
  2. Interlocking of fingers.
  3. Giving chest compressions.
  4. Opening of the airway.
  5. Delivering rescue breathes.
