People who engage in drug use or high-risk behaviors associated with drug use put themselves at risk for contracting or transmitting viral infections such as HIV/AIDS or hepatitis. This is because viruses spread through blood or body fluids. It happens primarily in two ways: (1) when people inject drugs and share needles or other drug equipment and (2) when drugs impair judgment and people have unprotected sex with an infected partner. This can happen with both men and women. Women who become infected with a virus can pass it to their baby during pregnancy, whether or not they use drugs. They can also pass HIV to the baby through breastmilk. Drug use can also affect the symptoms a person has from a viral infection.                                                  The viral infections of greatest concern related to drug use are HIV and hepatitis.

A. The facility has new, state-of-the-art equipment.

B. The facility is recommended by her family doctor.

C. The facility has been operating for more than five years.

D. The facility accepts most health insurance policies but not Sarah's.

The correct answer is D. The facility accepts most health insurance policies but not Sarah's.

Explanation:

MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a type of scanning used in medicine as part of diagnosis as through MRI doctors can obtain images of organs and other structures of the body. In terms of access, this type of imaging requires an IMR scanner which might not be found in all facilities. Also, the cost for an MRI is usually high, due to this, most patients will need their health insurance to cover this. In this context, if the facility Sarah chooses does not accept Sarah's health insurance, this is a poor choice for her due to the high cost she will need to pay.
