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.

If Jacob thinks there is overwhelming evidence for the existence of God, especially in light of what he thinks is the apparent d
slega [8]

Answer:

Jhon has a paradox, in other words, the question is raised as to whether God exists because there is so much evil and suffering?

Explanation:

With this argument he attacks the faith of Jacob who defends the existence of God by the order so wonderful that there is in the universe, and it is that to tell the truth, we can see the relationship of the order with the clean, the good, the organized, the point here is that although God's creation is perfect, intelligent beings with the ability to reason and think that God has created have freedom of determination to make decisions, something they have not known how to do well, since the ambition for power and wealth they lead him to act badly, then we could say that although God is the creator, he is not the originator of the evil that exists in the world.
