Hospital

A hospital's primary task is to provide short-term care for people with severe health issues resulting from injury, disease or genetic anomaly.

Doctor's Office

A doctor's office is a medical facility where one or more doctors provide treatment to patients. Doctor's offices are often focused on one type of medicine; the health providers operating there are either general practitioners or practice a common specialty.

Nursing Home

A nursing home is designed for patients who require constant care but do not need to be hospitalized and cannot be cared for at home. Often associated with seniors who require custodial care in a residential facility, it can actually serve patients of all ages who require this level of care.

Urgent Care Clinic

When patients are unable to get to their doctor's office or want basic medical care without an appointment, an urgent care clinic might be the perfect choice. Sometimes called walk-in clinics, these facilities offer outpatient care immediately.

Ambulatory Surgical Center

Some surgeries are too complex to be done safely in a doctor's office but simple enough that patients generally do not require hospital care after undergoing them. Ambulatory surgical centers are designed to provide these types of procedures. Also referred to as outpatient or same day surgery centers, these facilities offer a safe environment for the surgery and basic monitoring during the initial post-operation hours.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

"All ingredients in this product have been scientifically tested and clinically proven"

Explanation:

We can see that the Statement in the first option is right, that is, the ''...radio program host said, All ingredients in this product have been scientifically tested and clinically proven".

According to the question, the red flag the radio program host raised was about a nutrition-related product, and the claim is generally an indication that the information about the product is unreliable. So, in order words the radio program host was just encouraging people to use the product and calming peoples' fears down concerning the unreliability of the product because the product is tested and should be trusted.
