Answer: False

Explanation:

A substance that dissociated into ions in the solution is known as electrolyte.This substance has the ability to conduct electricity after being dissociated into ions

Sodium, calcium, chloride and phosphate are example of some electrolytes.

When a person is suffering from diarrhea or water loss in which huge amount of water is lost from the body. In this case the electrolytes from the body is also lost.

Oral solution of electrolytes are available commercially to be given to such patients.

Describe the physiological events occurring in the heart muscle represented by each ECG component (the P wave, QRS complex, and

Sauron [17]

Explanation:

The P wave represents the atrial depolarization (sum of the right and left atriums) and the atrial contraction. In normal circumstances, the P wave is smooth and rounded (<2.5 mm) and no more than 0.12 seconds in duration. It's the first positive deflection (you can see this in the image I added)
QRS complex can include the Q wave, R wave, and S wave, but there are exceptions. It represents the electrical impulse through the ventricles causing the ventricular depolarization. Its amplitude is the largest because ventricles are the chambers with the largest mass in the heart and it has a duration of 0.06-0.10 seconds in adults.
The T wave is the positive deflection that follows the QRS complex, it represents the ventricular repolarization. It is slightly asymmetric (peak closer to its end). Normally this wave follows the QRS complex's direction, if this doesn't happen, it's reflecting a cardiac pathology.

The pharmacy has sent up lasix for a patient. the bottle is labeled “10 mg per ml.” the physician’s order calls for a dose of 40

bezimeni [28]

The answer is 4ml

Lasix is made of furosemide, a diuretic drugs that frequently used. To know the volume of drug needed, you need to divide the dose needed by the drug concentration. The dose gien is 40mg per dose while the concentration of the drug is 10mg/ml. The drug administered per doses would be: 40mg/ (10mg/ml)= 4ml
