Gerald is admitted to the hospital because he has pneumonia. His blood work shows a low number of T-cells. The doctor wants to o

rder a test to see if Gerald is HIV positive. Why would the doctor do this? HIV attacks T-cells. If Gerald has HIV, he will have a lower T-cell count, and his immune system will be less able to protect him from other diseases. HIV attacks the pneumonia virus and uses cells to reproduce. If Gerald has HIV, he will also have pneumonia. Gerald may have taken antibiotics for HIV. These antibiotics would make his immune system more susceptible to pneumonia. Bacteria create an infection that strengthens the immune system to fight off HIV, but not pneumonia. This is why Gerald still has pneumonia.

Explain the significant causes of the Protestant Reformation, including: 1) the selling of indulgences and 2) Martin Luther’s 95
hram777 [196]

Answer: Dissatisfaction with the church structure and the arrogance of the clergy.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the 16th century, Martin Luther publicly expressed his satisfaction with the church's situation. He decided on this move after carefully analyzing the situation in the church. Catholic doctrine proclaims the modesty of primary clergy but also of believers. That teaching was in contrast to the real situation in the church. The clergy enjoyed luxury and wealth. The special thing that encouraged Luther to fight was the sale of indulgences. The sale of indulgences was a practice of forgiveness of sins for monetary compensation. Luther saw this phenomenon as a deception and a contradiction with the original Catholic doctrine.

Thus, he presented his 95 theses at the cathedral in Winterberg (Germany), which indicated all the irregularities evident in the church. Luther thus began an avalanche of discontent in Europe against the church organization known in history as the Reformation.

prisoha [69]
