Mrs. Jackson, who suffers from seizures, has been stable on a phenytoin dose of 300 mg q.d. (qd or QD) for over a year. However, she has recently been experiencing periods of heartburn. When you ask her more about this, you find there are no red-flag symptoms. She has tried OTC antacids in the past, but did not like them. Instead, she has seen Nexium tablets advertised and wants to know if they would be suitable. Is this an appropriate choice of OTC treatment? Explain in detail and based on scientific reasoning.

JH, a 53 year-old female, had not been feeling well lately and suddenly started to feel acutely worse. Shestarted to have shortness of breath, and was experiencing an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, muscleweakness, and feelings of severe nausea. She called 911 and was taken to the hospital where bloodsamples were drawn. JH was diagnosed with hyperkalemia and ordered IV fluids. The IV fluids she was given contained calciumgluconate and insulin. Her potassium levels were monitored over a 24-hour period and were assummarized in Table 2 (attached) Using Table 2, which shows the patient’s plasma K+ concentrations over a 24-hour period, graph thechanges of K+ over time with computer software like Excel (not hand-drawn). Make sure to include an appropriate figure caption to explain what you haveobserved and follow scientific best practices for creating your graph. (You may consult graphs in publishedphysiology articles for inspiration!)

Opioids cross the placental barrier, and a newborn of opioid-dependent mother will undergo withdrawal within 6-12 hours of birth. The long-term consequences of prenatal opioid dependence are poorly understood, but it may be best practice to maintain the mother on methadone and treat the infant with opioid rather than withdraw the mother before child delivery. Give some examples of drugs that can be used to reverse withdrawal and which medications can be used for opioid dependence treatment?
