    • Sodium

    • Fluid retention

    According to the research study, a linear correlation coefficient (r) 0.1 indicates which of the following?

    • A weak correlation between study variables

    • A lack of correlation between study variables

    • A very positive correlation between the study variables

    • A&B

    Correct Answer
    A. A weak correlation between study variables

This means that there is a small and insignificant relationship between the variables being studied. The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 indicating no correlation and values close to -1 or 1 indicating a strong negative or positive correlation, respectively. Therefore, a correlation coefficient of 0.1 suggests a weak and negligible relationship between the variables.

    Transthyretin is a transport protein for vitamin A. It is responsible for carrying vitamin A in the bloodstream, protecting it from degradation and ensuring its delivery to the target tissues. IGF-binding protein and casein protein do not have a specific role in transporting vitamin A. Therefore, the correct answer is Transthyretin.

    What is the function of salivary amylase? - ProProfs

    • Breaking of simple carbohydrates

    • Breaking of complex carbohydrates

    • Breaking protein

    • Storing glucose

    Correct Answer
    A. Breaking of complex carbohydrates
    Explanation
    Salivary amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that helps in the digestion of carbohydrates. It specifically breaks down complex carbohydrates, such as starch, into simpler sugars like maltose. This process is the initial step in carbohydrate digestion, as it prepares the food for further breakdown in the small intestine. Salivary amylase plays a crucial role in the overall digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the body.

    What can reduce kidney stone formation? - ProProfs

    What can reduce kidney stone formation?

    • Reduction of calcium intake

    • Consumption of high-sodium diet

    • Limiting animal protein consumption

    • Consumption of foods which are high in oxalate

    Correct Answer
    A. Limiting animal protein consumption
    Explanation
    Limiting animal protein consumption can reduce kidney stone formation because animal proteins contain high levels of purines, which are broken down into uric acid in the body. High levels of uric acid can lead to the formation of uric acid stones. By reducing the intake of animal proteins, the production of uric acid can be minimized, reducing the risk of kidney stone formation.

    • Getting to know the client's history

    • A&C

    Correct Answer
    A. Building trust
    Explanation

This is crucial as it creates a safe and supportive environment for the client to open up and share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Building trust helps to establish a therapeutic alliance, which is essential for effective counseling. Knowing the client's likes and dislikes and getting to know their history may be important aspects of the counseling process, but they are not the primary focus of the first session.
