The correct answer is C. "I should take this medication on an empty stomach in the morning."

Explanation:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a disease in which the body acts against the thyroid gland that produces important hormones for the body. Due to this, in many cases, the Hashimoto's thyroiditis causes hypothyroidism or low production of thyroid hormones. To treat this, most doctors prescript a replacement for these hormones through a drug known as levothyroxine.

One of the most important factors for the drug to work and regulate hormone levels is that it is taken on an empty stomach in the morning around an hour before breakfast. Due to this, the statement that shows a patient with this disease understand the teaching is "I should take this medication on an empty stomach in the morning".

Explain key drivers of value- driven enterprise risk management
svetoff [14.1K]

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) incorporates four key attributes:

<span>1.       </span>Comprehensive Assessment

This key driver emphasizes that all risks should be equally taken into consideration.

<span>2.       </span>Consistent Evaluation

All risks must be criticized on a consistent basis to efficiently identify the risks across the entire enterprise.

<span>3.       </span>Consistent Risk Appetite

It maximizes risk-adjusted shareholder value that is applied to all decisions. It highlights the capability of the whole organization(versus individual component) to deal with the risks.

<span>4.       </span>Value-Driven

The organization must be united with the same objective of risk management--shifting the risk-return profile of the business toward greater upside.
