Sasha is a medical assistant at a pain clinic. One of her patients tells her, “The doctor says that, in a week or two, my joint

pain should begin to resolve, and I should reach homeostasis. What does all that mean?” Which of the following would be the BEST response from Sasha?
A. “She means that the trouble with your joints may affect your kidneys, so you may have trouble maintaining your body’s water balance. Did she ask you to write down how often you use the bathroom each day?”

B. “That’s great news! It means you’ll never have joint pain again. Once the body reaches homeostasis, there’s nothing that can disrupt it.”

C. “That’s great news! As your joint pain lessens, it will be easier for your body to reach a state of homeostasis. That means your body systems will be in balance and running smoothly.”

D. “The doctor is saying that your joint pain means you may have trouble regulating your body temperature. Did she ask you to take your own temperature every day?”

Answer:

I'm assuming the joint pain was related to a homeostatic imbalance. I believe the answer is C.

Explanation:

A is wrong but not false. Your kidneys (and other organs) can be affected, but the patient said that the doctor told them their pain will start to go away and they'll reach homeostasis. They didn't mention a problem with getting there.

Option B is patently false.

Option D is a little silly. Same sort of reasons with A.
