<span>Medicines are drugs used to treat, cure, and prevent disease. This means that all medicines must be drugs. However, since not all drugs are used to treat disease, not all drugs can be considered medicines.</span>

The difference between drugs and medicines is pretty basic, but a lot of people often interchange them. The main thing that differentiates them are their legality and society's perception of them. Both are used for the treatment or cure of diseases, but drugs have a more stimulating and addictive effect to the body than medicine. On the other hand, medicines generally don't have such effects.

The nurse is caring for a patient who is scheduled for a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain because of new onset of head
BigorU [14]

Answer:B---You will need to hold your head completely still during the examination

Explanation:

A CT scan  of the brain is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses special X-rays measurements to produce cross sectional images of the brain so as to  provide an extra detailed information or data about brain tissue and structure concerning issues related to injuries or diseases of the brain.

During a brain CT, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body,and the scanner of the Ct SCAN xray  starts to rotate around the body detecting the  marked brain's tissues and then transmits the data to the computer. The computer will transmit the data fed into it into an image containing information that can interpreted by the radiologist.

One important procedure amongst others is to remain very still during the procedure so as to allow the right view to be captured by the scanner.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ ABCDE}}

Explanation:

First, let's identify each acronym.

<u>1. ABCDE </u>

  • This is the correct answer. This helps identify skin cancer. It stands for Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter and Evolution.

Even though we found the answer, let's check the others to ensure our answer is right.

B. HOSA

  • This is the Health Occupations Students of America, so clearly this isn't a method for assessing the skin.

C. HIPAA

  • This is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It protects a patient's medical information.

D. FAST

  • This helps with identifying a stroke. It stands for Face, Arm, Speech, and Time.

The best answer choice is <u>A. ABCDE</u>

Yuliya22 [10]

If the boil ruptures under the skin, inflammation and infection spread quickly and new lumps form nearby. HS is a progressive disease so it is bound to get worse over time.  It can be unpredictable. It is different for every person so it can be hard to predict.
