Answer:

C- She takes insulin for her sugar.

Explanation:

Being submerged in water, increases the oxygen requirement of the body. This causes metabolism rate to increase and the body requires more glucose to drive these compensatory processes involving organs such as the lungs, as well as her muscles. The information about her sugar condition, gives a knowledge of the kind of treatments that should be given and care is taken to avoid administering glucose solutions and gives insight into the required need for insulin when it arises.  

Without this prior information, administering glucose will further distort the metabolic processes in the body as the sugar levels in the body will be increased further than her sugar conditions already will cause.

Nesterboy [21]

Garrod hypothesized that "inborn errors of metabolism" such as alkaptonuria occur because...genes dictate the production of specific enzymes, and affected individuals have genetic defects that cause them to lack certain enzymes.

Explanation:

Archibald Garrod researched on alkaptonuria and proposed the ‘one gene-one enzyme’ hypothesis. This led to the finding that alkaptonuria is caused due to an inherited or “inborn error of metabolism”.

This hypothesis stated that each gene codes and responsible for a single specific enzyme which facilitates a particular step in the metabolic processes.

According to Garrod, a mutation of a particular gene leads to specific error or defect leading to a lack of a particular enzyme that takes part in the biochemical metabolic pathways. This disrupts the metabolic pathway at the specific enzymatic action point.

In alkaptonuria, it was found that the defective phenotype of dark urine is due to the inborn error happening during the waste elimination process.

Answer:

b. Descriptive study

Explanation:

A descriptive research is a research method used to describe and explain a certain behavior of a population or phenomenon under study. It is a qualitative study that does not involve testing of the cause and effect of variables. It involves the use of qualitative methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, case study etc, to carry out research on a subject matter to give answers to the “what” questions raised, rather than to the “why”, “how” questions raised in a research subject.

The purpose statement in the question most likely indicates a descriptive study. It answers the “what” question i.e. what are the caring behaviors desired by patients with AIDS or HIV?  In the course of the study, caring behaviors that AIDS or HIV patients desire would be identified and discussed.
