Health
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
5 0

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.

If you decide to practice abstinence and your partner does not like your decision, what question should you ask yourself?
Vesnalui [34]

Here's an answer that is a little more serious. A relationship is supposed to make both of you happy. Does yours?

If you have really different views that are irreconcilable, you likely are not meant to be with each other. Not in this day and age. If you were living in the middle ages, the question would not exist. Now it does. So ask.

Verdich [7]

dear mom, dad, sister, and brother,

I wrote this to you because I want a cochlear implant because I am deaf, and it has always been my dream to her the radio on a rainy day. To her you speak. I want to gain independence for myself I want to be able to hear the birds chirping and the sound of the old truck starting up.

I want to be looked at as someone who can hear when you call my name I don't want to be the "deaf girl" like how I was in school. I want to be able to hear the keyboard of the computer when I type this to you. and last i want to be able to be looked at as if i was one of the main stream girls who can hear and see all on there own.

P.S. i am deaf and just go my implant and i am over the moon happy that i can hear all of this stuff (i am still in school tho)
