Answer:

The doctor should encourage the patient to tell the situation to his wife, as it also affects her health.

Explanation:

The correct would be that the doctor does not inform the patient's wife because patient health information must be confidential. However, the patient's HIV infection compromises his wife's health and it is a medical duty to communicate the patient's wife about the risks she is taking. In such a case, the doctor should tell the patient this and encourage him or her to tell him that he is HIV-positive to his wife on behalf of her health, or the medical team should contact her.

I would tell him that his health problems are completely confidential and that I would not tell his wife. If the wife asked me, I would say to talk to your husband he will explain everything.

What causes chronic strains?
cricket20 [7]

Twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon can result in a strain. It can also be caused by a single instance of improper lifting or by over stressing the back muscles. A chronic strain usually results from overuse involving prolonged, repetitive movement of the muscles and tendons. In addition, there are several factors that put a person at greater risk for a back strain or sprain, including excessively curving the lower back, being overweight, having weak back or abdominal muscles, and tight hamstrings (muscles in the back of the thighs). Playing sports that involve pushing and pulling—such as weightlifting and football—also increases the risk of a low-back injury. Chronic strains happen slowly over time from prolonged, repetitive overuse of muscles. Chronic strains develop from using the same muscle groups in the same pattern, causing even small stresses to build on one another. Causes of chronic strain include:

Improper body mechanics or using the wrong muscle groups for a task, such as repeatedly lifting heavy objects using your back instead of your legs

Improper sports mechanics or techniques, such as habitually gripping a tennis racket too tightly or an incorrect golf swing

Participation in the same exercises in the same way, day after day

Poor posture

Use of the wrong equipment, such as running shoes without the proper support for your foot type
