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".

Which of the following activities were most likely help Anthony manage the stress level?
just olya [345]
Technically any of these. Are there any other details or specifics. I'd assume participating in sports because a diet only helps stress levels in the long term, watching television can relax a person but the other factors such as lack of social activity can contribute to a person's overall mental state and therefore increase stress levels, and studying can actually be relieving for some people depending on the mental state and needs of them but can obviously be a stresser. The only downfall to participating in sports is getting to excited or emotional during a game for example. But overall, C is the best choice.
