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".

If there is resistance to the bvm when ventilating a tracheostomy patient the emt should:_________
Eva8 [605]

If there is resistance to the BVM when ventilating a tracheostomy patient the EMT should check air is escaping through a hole in the lung and filling the pleural space.

<h3>What is tracheostomy?</h3>

A tracheostomy is a hole made in the front of the neck to allow a tube to be inserted into the windpipe trachea to assist breathing.

The tube can be connected to an oxygen supply and a breathing machine called a ventilator if necessary.

Individuals notice increased resistance to ventilations while ventilating an intubated patient with a bag-valve-mask-unit. This could mean that air is escaping from the lung and filling the pleural space.

Thus, the EMT should check for this.
