Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Tardive dyskinesia

Explanation:

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by uncontrolled facial movements, repetetitive tongue movements, chewing and sucking motions. It is caused by long-term use of neuroleptic drugs such as those that increase the brain's sensitivity to the neurotransmitter dopamine.  Decreasing the dosage or discontinuing the medication causing this dissorder may solve the patient problems or may worsen the symptoms.

There are several types of treatments for this dissorder such as changing medications or introducing new ones to the patient such as Ingrezza, Austedo, Botox, Clorazil or Klonopin but since some of this medications are know to cause Tardive dyskinesia as well, the patient's treatment must be adequated to his case.

According to Jean Kazez, which one of the following is an objective value?
joja [24]

hihi :)

the answer is 2, which is health

Variants on two approaches to the concept of health have dominated the philosophy of medicine, here referred to as 'reductionist' and 'relativist'. These two approaches share the basic assumption that the concept of health cannot be both based on an empirical biological foundation and be evaluative and thus adopt either the view that it is 'objective' or evaluative. It is here argued that there is a subset of value concepts that are formed in recognition of certain fundamental facts about living organisms, among which is the concept of health. These are not yet moral concepts, but they are 'normative' or 'evaluative'. The view is defended that health, so understood, is a fundamental concept in the process of medical diagnosis and treatment.
