"Why do we need fat?
Virtually all natural foods contain some fat. It is in foods because both plants and animals use fats as the most economical way to store energy. It is needed for their growth, development and function when there is a shortage of food supply (or a shortage of sunlight in the case of plants).
Certain specific dietary fats have other essential functions. We are much like other animals so we do actually need some fat from our diet to survive. And while in general, as with most things, too much fat is bad, a certain amount is perfectly compatible with good health.
What is fat for?
A source of energy – Our body uses the fat we eat, and fats we make from other nutrients in our bodies, to provide the energy for most of our life-functions
Energy store – The extra calories that we consume, but do not need to use immediately, are stored for future use in special fat cells (adipose tissue)
Essential fatty acids – Dietary fats that are essential for growth development and cell functions, but cannot be made by our body’s processes
Proper functioning of nerves and brain- fats are part of myelin- a fatty material which wraps around our nerve cells so that they can send electrical messages. Our brains contain large amounts of essential fats
Maintaining healthy skin and other tissues. All our body cells need to contain some fats as essential parts of cell membranes, controlling what goes in and out of our cells
Transporting fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K through the bloodstream to where they are needed
Forming steroid hormones needed to regulate many bodily processes"
Answer:
Flushed down in the patient's toilet
Explanation:
Patients having highly contagious diseases are put in isolated rooms so that the disease can not be spread by the patient to the other people. Person who provide any foodstuff to these patients use appropriate safety clothing like gloves, masks, etc to protect themself from the infection.
Therefore when a patient did not drink juice that was given to him/her then the juice should be flushed in the patient's toilet to avoid any cross-contamination of the infectious agents between the patient and other people and that juice should not be given to any other person.
B is the best answer since public health policies reduce probabilities of diseases. It is not an obligation to provide vaccination since these are costly but these will be made readily available as much as needed and can be provided.
Taking away a patient's power to consent and giving it to medical personnel or the government is called medical paternalism.
