Answer to Question 1

3
Lactulose is a laxative that works by pulling water into the stool. It also helps pull ammonia from the blood into the colon for expulsion. IV antibiotics do not reduce serum ammonia levels. Vitamin K controls bleeding, but it does not reduce ammonia levels. Insulin is not used to reduce ammonia levels.

Answer to Question 2

1
Interventions to prevent the onset of stress fractures include: avoid overtraining; gradually increase the intensity of workouts by 10 each week; perform adequate warm up exercises; and use shock absorbing footwear and insoles.
