Answer:

Hypokalemia

Explanation:

The toxicity due to digoxin increases when metabolic disturbances such as hypokalemia occur.  Hypokalemia usually occur during the diuretic therapy and leads to electrolytic disturbances. These disturbances increase the sensitivity of the digoxin to produce toxicity. In such scenarios, even a small concentration of digoxin serum can prove to be toxic. Hypokalemia inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase and even treatment with antibodies specific to digoxin can lead to hypokalemia

This is indicative of classical conditioning as studied by Pavlov. There is an unconditioned stimuli, in this case, Kendra’s nausea wherein nausea is not often associated with alcohol. The conditioned stimuli here is the smell of liquor which does not normally associate with nausea in other humans. In this case, Kendra’s nausea is now associated with the smell of liquor; yet another possible conditioned stimuli such as the sight of bottle was not associated.<span> </span>
