Answer:

None of the options

Explanation:

Excess alcohol consumption displaces nutrient-filled food with empty calories (i.e calories void of nutrients). In fact, the body process alcohol as fat, thereby causes weight gain which cannot be attributed to good health.

Nutrients in food such as proteins, thiamine and zinc are very important in the production of the bodies defenses (antibodies) which helps the body to fight diseases and in stress conditions. The body with a weakened immune system, is therefore prone to diseases as the body cannot naturally fight diseases effectively on its own.

Compounding a sterile IV medication must be done in the pharmacy
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  The answer is C - clean room.  

Explanation:  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room.  A fume hood is used in a kitchen.  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room, ISO class 7 and inside that room is an ISO class 5 area - either an area that achieves this or inside a primary engineering control.  A PEC is a laminar air flow hood - either horizontal or vertical.  Or, if you do not have an ISO class 7 area, you can use a biological safety cabinet or Compounding Aseptic (CAI) and Containment Isolators (CACI) that can be certified to use a room that is less than ISO class 7.  The only reason you would ever prepare a sterile IV medication on a counter is in an emergency situation for "immediate use."  Immediate use is defined as the entire contents will be used within 60 minutes of the preparation.

Some viruses can undergo lysis or lysogeny within the same host. Under what conditions might the virus favor lysis instead of ly
bezimeni [28]
<h3>Under this conditions virus might favor lysis instead of lysogeny:</h3>

- according to the state of the host cell (can switch)

- in a healthy host, the virus can multiply and create new virions.

- unhealthy host: Lack of energy permits the lysogen to incorporate DNA into the host cell, where it can wait for the cell's health to improve.

<h3>What is lysis?</h3>

A common result of viral infection is cell lysis. Cellular membranes are damaged, which causes cell death and the release of cytoplasmic substances into the extracellular environment.

<h3>What is lysogeny?</h3>

One of two viral reproduction cycles is lysogeny, sometimes known as the lysogenic cycle. The bacteriophage nucleic acid is integrated into the host bacterium's genome during lysogeny, or a circular replicon forms in the bacterial cytoplasm.

Why might enlargement of the prostate gland affect urination?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
“The prostate is a gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.

Male reproductive anatomy
An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown bigger. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older.

An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is not cancer, and it does not raise your risk for prostate cancer.

Enlarged prostate glandWatch this video about:
Enlarged prostate gland
Causes
The actual cause of prostate enlargement is unknown. Factors linked to aging and changes in the cells of the testicles may have a role in the growth of the gland, as well as testosterone levels. Men who have had their testicles removed at a young age (for example, as a result of testicular cancer) do not develop BPH.

Also, if the testicles are removed after a man develops BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size.

Some facts about prostate enlargement:

The likelihood of developing an enlarged prostate increases with age.
BPH is so common that it has been said all men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough.
A small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40. More than 90% of men over age 80 have the condition.
No risk factors have been identified, other than having normally-functioning testicles.
