Question

How Clark Developed Seizures

The following list is not in the correct order. The first three events are numbered correctly. Drag and drop the
remaining events in the order that led to Clark's seizures.


picture above for the order.

Answer 1

4. Low blood sodium concentration

5. Net movement of free water into the matrix

6. Increased matrix pressure

7. Abnormal neuron firing rate

8. Seizures

Step-by-step explanation:

Seizures are defined as the common complication of drug intoxication.

As per the clinical observations for Clark , normal blood and matrix sodium concentration lose sodium ions due to diarrhea. As given too much water causes sodium levels to decrease. Due to lower sodium concentration, the free water move into the matrix and increased matrix pressure. This pressure causes the abnormal neuron firing rate to increase which causes seizures.

Hence, the correct order is:

4. Low blood sodium concentration

5. Net movement of free water into the matrix

6. Increased matrix pressure

7. Abnormal neuron firing rate

8. Seizures
