Answer:

The correct answer would be - renal failure, kidney stones, uric acid neuropathy and other complications.

Explanation:

The symptoms of H.J include decreased urine output, flank pain, peripheral edema. H.J. is at risk for acute kidney injury which can result in renal failure due to elevated levels of uric acid, BUN, and creatinine.

Uric acid begins to precipitate in the kidneys and leads to conditions such as uric acid nephropathy and subsequent kidney injury. ECG shows in such patients as elevated heart rate due to hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia.

- Muscle cramps, Diarrhea, Nausea, and vomiting

- Renal failure due to kidney stones because of high uric acid.

predict if the sensory nerves in a persons foot are nonfunctional, would the person feel pain if the foot was severely burned
irina1246 [14]
Nerves are cells that can detect any type of pressure, movement, or anything of that nature. If we didn't have nerves, we couldn't feel pain. If the nerves in a foot are damaged, you wouldn't feel the pain of it being burned.

George works in an air conditioner manufacturing company. Which pollutant is likely to be produced from air conditioning?
Alexus [3.1K]

The right option is A. hydrofluorocarbons

Hydrofluorocarbons are  pollutants that are likely to be produced from air conditioning.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic fluorinated strong greenhouse gases that are strongly accumulating in the atmosphere. Hydrofluorocarbons are mainly used as refrigerants. Hydrofluorocarbons are used to replace ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons which are being phased out in air conditioning, refrigeration, foam blowing agents, and solvents. Hydrofluorocarbons are responsible for about 20% of climate pollution by 2050
