Answer:

hypokalemia

Explanation:

Furosemide (Lasix diuretics) is a potent diuretic that if administered in excessive amounts, can produce deep diuresis with loss of water and electrolytes. Excessive diuresis can cause hypokalemia, which causes the muscles to weaken, experience cramping or shaking and also lead to arrhythmias.

The factors that led to this conclusion were, among others, the supply of this medicine, the patient's symptoms and the poor diet she was carrying. The recommendation is to have a diet rich in potassium (foods such as bananas, raisins, plums, pears, etc.) and if required, the provision of oral potassium supplements.

Why do you think the United States put a limit on the number of immigrants who may enter the country?
eimsori [14]
Immigration law is very complex, and there is much confusion as to how it works. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), the body of law governing current immigration policy, provides for an annual worldwide limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with certain exceptions for close family members. Lawful permanent residency allows a foreign national to work and live lawfully and permanently in the United States. Lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are eligible to apply for nearly all jobs (i.e., jobs not legitimately restricted to U.S. citizens) and can remain in the country even if they are unemployed. Each year the United States also admits noncitizens on a temporary basis. Annually, Congress and the President determine a separate number for refugee admissions.

Hatshy [7]

Extraneous

An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.

Alex

Answer:

True

Explanation:

"If someone attributes negative feedback to something that is within their control, they are likely to exert more effort to remedy (fix) the issue." is a true statement.

The reason behind this is that this negative feedback is coming from his own self. This means that he is aware of the issue himself and very well acknowledges his lack of indulgence and productivity.

Therefore, he is most likely to work on fixing it as compared a negative feedback that he would receive from someone else, that could also lead to him being offended about it.
