Correct Answer is ["0.8"]

Explanation

Step 1 is to divide the dose required by the concentration available. 3,800 units ÷ 5,000 units/mL = 0.76 mL.

The final answer is 0.8 mL.

A. Alcoholism. B. Dehydration. C. Kidney failure. D. Excessive magnesium intake.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Alcoholism is a common cause of hypomagnesemia due to poor dietary intake, increased renal excretion, and gastrointestinal losses. Chronic alcohol consumption leads to malnutrition and loss of magnesium through the urine, contributing to low magnesium levels.

Choice B rationale

Dehydration typically leads to hemoconcentration, which can elevate, rather than decrease, magnesium levels. Thus, it is not usually associated with low magnesium levels.

Choice C rationale

Kidney failure generally causes hypermagnesemia, not hypomagnesemia, because the kidneys cannot efficiently excrete magnesium, leading to its accumulation in the blood.

Choice D rationale

Excessive magnesium intake would result in hypermagnesemia, not hypomagnesemia, as the body accumulates more magnesium than it can excrete.
