Answer:

Diuretics will remove water from the blood and eliminate it in the urine. Consequently, water will move from the peritoneal cavity into the bloodstream reducing her ascites.

•The mechanism of action of diuretics are

o Osmotic diuretics are substances that are not reabsorbed or that exceed the ability of the tubule to reabsorb it, which increases osmolarity of the urine, and causes water to be drawn into the urine from the ISF.

o Loop diuretics (Lasix) inhibit symporters in the loop of Henle by diminishing sodium chloride uptake. They reduce the normal hyperosmolality of the medullary interstitial fluid, reducing the effects of ADH, resulting in loss of NaCl and water.

o Thiazides act on the distal convoluted tubule to inhibit water reabsorption.

•Her diet is salt-restricted because if salt content in the blood is high, it will cause her to retain water rather than allowing her to eliminate it.

Which condition has the highest measure of aggressive behavior among childhood disorders?
iris [78.8K]
Conduct Disorder has the highest measure of aggressive behavior among childhood disorders. Why? Well, the definition itself is explanatory. Conduct disorder is a mental illness in which children specifically present themselves in an aggressive manner, meaning they have tendencies to commit theft, lie, bully, and intimidate. Children with conduct disorder are not very attentive; they disregard general rules and lack empathy and social acceptable behavior. This is most of the time a result of how they were treated or if anything happened to them traumatically such as brain damage.

Answer: N.B The question seems incomplete and I believe the complete question should be what type of reasoning is this. The answer is abductive reasoning

Explanation: Abductive reasoning is a form of logical inference which starts with an observation or set of observations and then seeks to find the simplest and most likely explanation for the observations.

From the above question, the first premise of the individual observed that hunger leads to tiredness. The second premise of the individual observed that tiredness leads to sleepiness. The individual conclusion then states that hunger leads to sleepiness from all the observation gathered. Note that there could be other reasons why the individual feels sleepy, hence why this type of reasoning is abductive.
