Answer:

<em>Case Control Study </em>

Explanation:

Case Control <em>is a study comparing patients with a disease or outcome of interest (cases) with patients without the disease or outcome (controls) and looking back prospectively to compare how often the risk factor exposure is present in each group to determine the relationship between the risk factor and the disease.</em>

Case control studies are performed because there is no effort to interfere and no attempt is made to change the disease path.

Which action is a sign of unhealthy personal boundaries
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Let's break this down a bit.

#A (not letting others define you) is actually a healthy boudary, so that can't be it.

#C (speaking up when you are treated poorly)  is definately a Healthy boundary too, so it's not C.

and #D (giving only as much as you are comfortable with) is yet another Healthy boundary.

#B (feeling bad when you say no)  Is an unhealthy behavieral (can't spell:) ) trait, and if your answer isn't A,C, or D, then it's B. Sorry if I seemed belittling, it took me a sad amount of time to figure it out so I thought I'd explaine it.

I hope it helps!

#B Is Correct

monitta

Answer:

Hyponatremia

Explanation:

In medicine, hyponatremia refers to a medical condition where there's a low level of sodium in the blood.

One of the main causes for hyponatremia is having prolonged periods of exercise (and therefore sweating a lot) combined with drinking large volumes of water without electrolytes. Because of the sweating and the large volumes of water, the kidneys start malfunctioning and they can't regulate the amounts of sodium properly.

In this example, <u>a person works outside in a physically demanding job in August, sweats a lot and consumes large volumes of water throughout the day,</u> we can see that this person meets the criteria mentioned in the previous paragraph to develop signs of hyponatremia.
