Answer:

Answer: B) Straight-leg raise.

Explanation:

The straight-leg raise entails having the patient lying down on his back while the medical examiner lifts the leg.

If the patient has sharp pain which spreads from the back down to the leg in an S1 or L5 distribution, it shows that he suffers from a herniated disc.

Tobacco can damage the immune system of a person with AIDS. Please select the best answer from the choices provided.
pishuonlain [190]
<span>It is true that tobacco can damage the immune system of a person with AIDS. Although this is the case with most people - tobacco negatively affects anyone's immune system, not only those who have AIDS - people who do have AIDS are more likely to be seriously harmed than those who do not. People with AIDS already have a weakened immune system that is unable to fight off any diseases, so if it is damaged even more, they can easily die.</span>
