After speaking with Laurence, a patient, two doctors determine two possible treatments for his condition, but they

disagree about which would likely be the most effective. Each treatment can be started and stopped quickly without

leaving side effects. Which is the best way for the doctors to resolve their conflicting opinions?

O Administer both medications to the patient at the same time and note any side effects.

Ask the insurance company to decide which treatment to administer to the patient first,

Administer one treatment until it no longer feels effective and then administer the other.

O Decide on a balanced timeframe for each treatment and note which is more effective.

Answer 1

Decide on a balanced timeframe for each treatment and note which is more effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

To avoid stress and overloading the patient's body, the best option is to have the doctors talk and determine a balanced period of time for the patient to be subjected to both treatments, not all at once, but following a logical order and benefits. After this period, doctors must evaluate which treatment was most effective and continue using the winning treatment, until the patient is cured.
