Question

select the correct answer.
london is living with an inoperable medical condition. his oncologist learned about an advanced form of therapy that could cure his condition, but the therapy is experimental and somewhat controversial. it’s being offered at a university hospital. what level of care will london receive if he chooses to visit the hospital?

a. primary

b. secondary

c. tertiary

d. emergency

Explanation:

To determine the level of care, we analyze each option:

• Primary care is basic, routine care (e.g., check - ups, minor illnesses), not for experimental therapies.
• Secondary care involves specialized care after primary, like seeing a specialist for a known condition, not experimental.
• Tertiary care is highly specialized, often for complex/rare conditions, and includes experimental therapies offered at university hospitals (which are centers for advanced medical research/treatments).
• Emergency care is for acute, life - threatening situations, not for planned experimental therapy.

Since Landon's therapy is experimental, advanced, and at a university hospital, it's tertiary care.

Answer:

C. tertiary
