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.

Which consideration is a priority when caring for a mother with strong contractions 1 minute apart?
geniusboy [140]

The heart rate of the fetus in relation to the contractions is the priority consideration while caring for a mother who is having strong contractions one minute apart.

There are a number of point which have to be taken care of when a mother is having strong contractions which are 1 minute apart but the priority is always to check the status of the fetus. This is important because the blood flow of the placenta gets interrupted temporarily with every contraction and therefore if the contractions are too strong and too long lasting, the fetus might not able to tolerate them.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The correct answer is Thoracic Cavity

Explanation:

In the human body, the thoracic cavity is located above the abdomen and below the neck. This cavity includes vital organs such as the lungs and the heart. Moreover, this cavity is surrounded by bones such as the ribs. Besides this, while driving the thoracic cavity is expected to be in front of the steering wheel because the steering wheel is always in front of the chest of the driver. Due to this, if William's body slammed into the steering wheel during the accident is likely this cavity was the one most affected due to its position.
