<span>Digoxin toxicity is a poisoning that occurs in people due to excessive intake of the medication digoxin or the consumption of plants such as foxglove and lily of the valley that contain digoxin. Manifestations for digoxin toxicity that the nurse should monitor for before administering this medication are vomiting, loss of appetite, confusion, blurred vision, arrhythmias, decreased energy, and irregular heartbeat. The nurse should also closely monitor the electrolyte levels because low levels of potassium and magnesium increase the risk for digoxin toxicity. If digoxin is administered, the heart rate should be counted before every dosage. If the heart rate is lower than 60 beats per minute, the drug should be stopped and the health care professional should be notified.</span>
<span>If the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each, the number of chromosomes in the zygote is 24. Fertilization is the fusion of two haploid gametes and results in the creation of a diploid zygote. If two haploid gametes containing 12 chromosomes each fuse, the zygote will have 24 chromosomes (12 + 12 = 24).</span>

*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%
*Solution
<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>
1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,
a. The number of female wolves is
(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves
b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves
Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.
c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves
2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,
55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs
3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.
For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of
<span> <u> 40 </u>
</span> 100
and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,
<span><u> 40/10 </u>
</span> 100/10
<span><u> 4 </u>
</span> 10
When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,
<span><u> 4 </u> x 100% = 40%
</span> 10
Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.
