Reference no: EM133586474

Case study: resting membrane potential hillary was 62 years old woman recently hospitalized and diagnosed with heart failure while in the hospital she was given furosemide daily furosemide works by flushing out water, but also potassium ions. once home, she continued the medication which led to a loss of 5 pounds water weight. excited about losing weight she decided to double up the medicine and try to lose more weight. a week later she was taken to the ER with generalized weakness, constipation, and a strong-pounding heartbeat. describe the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of potassium ions in a neuron
