Question

vashi has been diagnosed with a disease that has no cure. her doctor prescribes strong pain medications for to help her cope with this disease.
which disease is vashi being treating for?
○ celiac disease
○ cardiovascular disease
○ huntingtons disease
○ sickle cell disease

Explanation:

To determine the disease, we analyze each option:

• Celiac disease: Managed with diet, not typically requiring strong pain meds long - term as a main treatment.
• Cardiovascular disease: Treatments focus on managing risk factors, medications for pain aren't the primary long - term approach for the disease itself.
• Huntington's Disease: A neurodegenerative disorder with no cure, and pain management (with strong pain meds) is part of care as symptoms progress.
• Sickle cell disease: While painful, there are treatments (like hydroxyurea) and curative options (transplants in some cases), and it's not the most likely match for "no cure" with only pain meds as main treatment here.

Answer:

C. Huntington's Disease
