Answer is: A. it can cause digoxin toxicity.
Digoxin acts by binding to Na+/K+-ATPase pump and increases the sodium level intracellularly which induces another channel and exchange with calcium, the increases in the calcium intracellularly in the cardiac muscles increases the force of contraction.
Digoxin toxicity is also worsened by hypokalemia. Because digoxin binds to the potassium site of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, low serum potassium levels increase the risk of digoxin toxicity. Because there will be more binding of digoxin to the Na+/K+-ATPase, and highly increases its inotropic activity. Therefore, if patient is hypokalemic, administration of digoxin can cause digocin toxicity.

A male patient was admitted to the hospital their lab results came back which made you feel uneasy. The results indicated that the patient had the flowing high levels of antibodies: Maternal IgG, Maternal IgM and Maternal IgA. You asked for the labs to be redone and the new results showed the following: high levels of Maternal IgG and Maternal IgA and high levels of IgM. 1.Why you did you reject the first set of results, explain your answer. 2.What...

Now that you know how hypokalemia can cause your patient's
muscle weakness, you have to figure out what is causing his
hypokalemia. Dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea is a major cause
of hypokalemia, but your patient has not reported being sick. This
leaves two possible causes: kidney problems or a genetic mutation
in ion channels.
The kidneys are important for regulating the levels of
potassium released in urine. A patient with malfunctioning kidneys
may be releasing too much potassium in...
