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 component of physical education tests how much force an individual can put out all at once? muscular endurance flexibility
Burka [1]
Muscular strength

in case you didn't know the definition of muscular strength, you could use process of elimination. it's not muscular endurance because endurance is testing how long you can do something over a period of time, and the question is asking about all at once. it's not flexibility or body composition because neither are testing how much force your body can exert. that leaves muscular strength.

Being intoxicated does not slow your reflexes true or false
vovikov84 [41]

False

Alcohol is a depressant. This means it slows down the functions of the body, including reflexes. This is why there are many accidents when people drive drunk; their mind and body do not react fast enough to what is happening on the road, so they cause accidents.
