Answer: prolonged vomiting, chronic diarrhea, laxative abuse, and use of diuretics.
Explanation:
Prolonged vomiting can result in loss of electrolytes, and also disturbs the ionic balance. The potassium is one of the types of ions lost during vomiting. Diarrhea also includes vomiting and profuse stools which also cause loss of potassium from the body. The diuretics induce the urination and also increase the frequency of urination. The potassium ions will be lost if urination becomes frequent. The decrease in level of potassium can result in muscle cramps, muscle twitching, disturb the blood pressure, abnormally affect the heart rhythm, and cause other effects.

Answer:
A patient with a spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis of the legs has paraplegia (option c).
Explanation:
Paraplegia consists of paralysis of the lower extremities or legs due to injuries to the spinal cord, from the dorsal vertebrae. Other causes of paraplegia include tumors and malformations that affect the spinal cord.
<u>The spinal cord provides the nerves that allow the innervation of the limbs</u>. A spinal cord injury interrupts communication between the brain and the effector (motor) muscles as well as the sensory nerves in the affected limbs, producing paralysis. When it occurs in the legs is called paraplegia.
The other options are not correct because:
a. Hemiplegia corresponds to paralysis of upper and lower limbs on one side only.
b. Pseudoplegia is a paralysis that is due to mental disorders such as conversion disorder, without injury to the nervous system.
d. Dysplegia is associated with motor disorders observed in children with varying degrees of dysfunction or cerebral paralysis.
Answer:
I'm starting high-school next school-year and so far I've listed some things for myself that I plan on following; hopefully it helps you as well.
Explanation:
- Be confident in yourself -- never let others dictate how you feel.
- Find a balance between school and social activities. Friends and activities are always fun, but if you put off time to study or work on assignments, your school work will pile up. So make sure to try to find a balance.
- Be prepared for your classes. It's always helpful to know what topics you'll be going through so make sure to read the syllabus
- Along with being prepared - have a notebook for class and pencil. Writing notes are super helpful for classes because (in my opinion) you memorize key things quicker.
- Never change yourself for other people (also goes along with #1).
- Enjoy yourself. I think high-school is a time for fun and more opportunities to learn. Try to embrace the experience and be comfortable in the new environment.
I'm not going to put the whole list but these are one the key things. I really hope this helps and good luck on whatever high-school sends your way!
