The answer is the fourth one: Metabolic alkalosis.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Pneumonia: This condition is not directly caused by nasogastric tube drainage. However, there is a risk of aspiration pneumonia if the tube is not properly managed, but it is not a primary condition arising from the drainage itself.

  2. Constipation: Nasogastric tube drainage does not typically cause constipation. Constipation is more related to factors such as diet, hydration, and bowel motility.

  3. Urinary retention: This condition is unrelated to nasogastric tube drainage. Urinary retention is usually associated with issues in the urinary system, such as prostate problems or neurological conditions.

  4. Metabolic alkalosis: This condition can arise because of nasogastric tube drainage. The drainage can lead to the loss of stomach acids (hydrochloric acid), which can result in a higher pH level in the body, leading to metabolic alkalosis.

Summary: Nasogastric tube drainage can lead to metabolic alkalosis due to the loss of stomach acids, which disrupts the body's acid-base balance.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. As one worker remembered it, 'Well, so we stayed whispering, and no one knowing what the other would do, not making up our minds, for two hours. Then I started to get up. And at just the same minute all - we all got up together, in one second. No one after the other; no one before. And when I saw it - that time - oh, it excites me so yet, I can hardly talk about it. So we all stood up, and all walked out together. And already out on the sidewalk in front the policemen stood with the clubs. One of them said, 'If you don't behave, you'll get this on your head.' And he shook his club at me.' Which best states the author's purpose for including this quote in the text? - to persuade the reader that strike was not a good idea for the workers - to give the reader the facts about when and where the strike took place - to tell the reader what the police felt and saw when the strike began - to help the reader feel the excitement and unity of the striking workers

C. The reaction of NO2(g) and CO(g) is thought to occur in two steps: Step 1 slow NO2(g)+NO2(g) → NO(g)+NO3(g) Step 2 Fast NO3(g)+CO(g)+NO2(g)+CO2(g) What is the molecularity of Step 2? bimolecular termolecular unimolecular (d) The reaction of NO2(g) and CO(g) is thought to occur in two steps: Step 1 Slow NO2(g)+NO2(g) → NO(g)+NO3(g) Step 2 Fast NO3(g)+CO(g) → NO2(g)+CO2(g) For this mechanism to be consistent with kinetic data, what must be the experimental rate equation? rate =k[NO2] rate =k[NO2]^2 rate =k[NO2][CO]
