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.

Zielflug [23.3K]
GDP is a way to calculate the economy or cash a country has, yet nowadays money is not something many focus on. The new generation has come to realize that many things are more important than money. Though the United States has the largest GDP, Sweden has been titled the "Happiest Country". There are many things other than money that can be measured, things that people might find more important. People no longer want to measure things by the money one might make. Because our world doesn't have to revolve around money, if we could focus on other things then we might become less self-centered and less greedy, as income portrays selfishness and greediness.
