As a state epidemiologist, you are called upon to determine whether a recent oil spill in a water reservoir has caused an unusua

The records from the Water Department clearly indicate which households receive water from which reservoir. Finally, you develop a case definition and institute a surveillance program to detect cases.

ANSWER: CASE-CONTROL STUDY

EXPLANATION:

An epidemiology expert will make use of a Case-control Study for proper determination of association or linkage between the oil spill and the disease outbreak (arthritis).

Case-control Study provides an observational experiment between two existing groups (two reservoirs) differing in outcome (affected and not affected), they are highlighted and compared on the basis of a context (disease outbreak; arthritis).

However, the known group is regarded as the control group and it provides a substantial guide to the confirm the validity of other experimental groups in relation to the general context (outbreak of arthritis).

What is the difference between co pay and deductible?
kondaur [170]

A copay is a common form of cost-sharing under many insurance plans. Copays are a fixed fee you pay when you receive covered care like an office visit or pick up prescription drugs.

A deductible is the amount of money you must pay out-of-pocket toward covered benefits before your health insurance company starts paying.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

D. Decreased arterial PCO2

pO2 decreases exponentially with altitude, this leads to an increase in the respiratory rate in an attempt to gain equilibrium, this leads to a decreasing arterial pCO2, this will displace the equilibrium of gases exchanged resulting in a loss of H+ and leading to respiratory alkalosis, an increasing on arterial's pH.
