Answer:

(D). Nonmaleficence

Explanation :

Leukemia occurs when damage is caused by the DNA of developing blood cells, mainly white cells. This causes the blood cells to uncontrollably expand and split. Good blood cells die, and are replaced by new cells. Bone marrow transplant is required in curing leukaemia. A bone marrow transplant is a surgical procedure performed to replace the weakened or killed bone marrow by illness, infection, or chemotherapy. This procedure involves the transplantation of blood stem cells into the bone marrow where they create new blood cells and encourage new marrow growth.

The healthcare team is discussing the risks and benefits of this treatment , this refers to Nonmaleficence healthcare ethics. Nonmaleficence means that it does not damage or cause the least possible harm to achieve a beneficial outcome.

melomori [17]

I actually have that problem. I have 20/40 vision and my left eye is pretty much blind. I was prescribed glasses so that my sight in my left eye would not get worse. All to say, I would consider glasses to be necessary in this case. It definitely helps in every day life.


I hope this helps and have a great day!! :)

A compound in food that can be converted into an active vitamin inside the body is known as a(n):​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

D. ​provitamin.

Explanation:

A provitamin is a substance that the body can transform into an active vitamin through metabolic processes. If compared with vitamins, provitamins have no biological activity or are much lower. In other words, provitamins are vitamin precursors.

Although not very frequent, sometimes you can see the term previtamin used as a synonym.

For example, beta-carotene, the most abundant carotenoid in nature, has about one sixth of the biological activity of retinol, or vitamin A, but can be transformed into retinol in the liver by an enzymatic reaction.
