Answer:

It will lose 1 electron

Its charge will be 1+, or simply (+)

Explanation:

Lithium it's located in the group one of the periodic table, the Alkali, and by rule, all Alkali are always gonna loose one electron during a chemical reaction to form a positive ion.

The charge is explained by the fact that, if lithium looses one electron, then it wi have less number of electrons than protons, meaning that, if there's a higher number of protons (positive charge), then the charge will be positive. And since the atom loosed one electron then its charge will be 1+

For example, during a chemical reaction calcium is always gonna loose 2 electrons, so its charge's gonna be Ca2+

The nursing instructor is discussing digoxin-induced dysrhythmias. What risk factor would the instructor identify as increasing
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Hypokalemia

Explanation:

The toxicity due to digoxin increases when metabolic disturbances such as hypokalemia occur.  Hypokalemia usually occur during the diuretic therapy and leads to electrolytic disturbances. These disturbances increase the sensitivity of the digoxin to produce toxicity. In such scenarios, even a small concentration of digoxin serum can prove to be toxic. Hypokalemia inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase and even treatment with antibodies specific to digoxin can lead to hypokalemia

Plants go through a process called photosynthesis where they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (as well as water and sunlight), and they turn it into oxygen (so we can breathe) and glucose (sugar)!
