-
Lay down
-
Put his head in between legs
-
Ask him whats wrong
-
Tell him that everything is ok
Correct Answer
A. Put his head in between legsExplanation
Putting one's head between their legs can help alleviate dizziness by increasing blood flow to the brain. This position helps to promote circulation and reduce the feeling of lightheadedness. By bending forward and allowing the head to hang down, gravity assists in improving blood flow to the brain, which can help alleviate the symptoms of dizziness.Rate this question:

Droplets

Spores

Coughing
Correct Answer
A. SporesExplanation
C-diff, also known as Clostridium difficile, is spread through spores. These spores are formed by the bacteria and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. When a person comes into contact with these spores, usually through touching contaminated surfaces or objects, they can become infected. The spores can also be ingested, leading to infection. Sneezing and coughing can spread other respiratory infections, but in the case of C-diff, it is primarily spread through spores.Rate this question:
