Answer:

A. Prescription drugs need authorization from a doctor, while over-the-counter drugs do not.

Explanation:

Over-the-counter drugs are those that can be sold without a prescription. That is, these drugs can be purchased by anyone without the need for medical authorization. These medications include painkillers, vitamins, antacids, laxatives and nasal decongestants. These medications treat mild symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, thrush, sore throat, diaper rash, hemorrhoids, nasal congestion and heartburn.

On the other hand, prescription drugs can only be purchased with medical authorization. These medications treat more serious symptoms and illnesses. Its use must be extremely regulated and monitored by the doctor and for this reason authorization is required. Among these medications are antibiotics and antidepressants.

True or false. hiv/aids is considered a pandemic.
Lena [83]
In order to answer this question, we should know what a pandemic means: it means a global epidemic. 

A lot of epidemics are very local, for example Malaria is limited to places where mosquitoes are very active. 

HIV/AIDS can be found in all parts of the world, so that makes it a pandemic - it goes everywhere humans go, because it can survive in all conditions where humans live

Which is most likely responsible for the recent increase in type 2 diabetes in the population:
Simora [160]

Answer:A. Increase in prevalence of obesity and genetic changes

Explanation:

The most likely answer from the options that has led to the increase in type 2 diabetes is an increase in prevalence of obesity and genetic changes and this is because both obesity and genetics are very strong risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.

The second option which is an increase in consumption of high fructose corn syrup is a little off because when your pancreas is functioning very well and insulin is being secreted properly, the body will definitely take care of the fructose meal without leading to type 2 diabetes.

The third option which is an increase in gestational diabetes is usually a temporary increase in blood sugar that is related to pregnancy and usually resolves soon after given birth.

The last option which involves increase in allergies and autoimmune disease is not really implicated in type 2 diabetes but instead autoimmune diseases is directly linked to type 1 diabetes and not type 2.
