Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which statement accurately describes appropriate diagnostic interpretation of her findings, would be: This woman is coursing with acute pancreatitis.

Explanation:

Although there are no statement, there is no other way to interpret what has been found. Because of the elevated levels of lipase, an enzyme which is produced by the pancreas, and which, when found elevated in blood, indicates that something is going on with the pancreas, we can almost certainly say that she is presenting with acute pancreatitis. Other signs that point to this are the tenderness in both of the upper quadrants, the presence of vomiting and epigastric pain, and the absence of other symptoms that would at first might have pointed towards the liver. However, the signs and symptoms this woman is showing, and the lab results, point to only one possible diagnosis at this point, and which would be confirmed by the ultrasonography.

Which hygiene claim is supported by research?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which hygiene claim is supported by research? Would be: B: Brushing with a fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities.

Explanation:

We can first start this by saying, that right off the bat, we can totally rule out options C and D as a correct answer. Research, in fact, has shown, first that antibacterial soap does not have a higher impact on overall disease acquisition than regular soap, and rather, it does affect health because antibacterial soaps kill even normal bacterial groups on human skin that are necessary for skin balance. Also, handwashing was been shown to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of infection. On options A and B, although professional teeth cleaning does help in overall mouth welfare, it is not paramount, or vital, and therefore does not have to be regular if a person carries out his/her personal hygiene in the proper manner. However, what research HAS shown is that even if a person does a full care process of his/her teeth (brushing, flossing, etc,) if that person does not use fluoride in toothpaste, he/she will be prone to dental cavities as it has been shown that fluoride does impact the ability of bacteria to cause cavities. This is why the answer is B.
