From the option given the correct option is option b

Explanation:

A. MVA

B. A direct extension of the infectious molar

C. Waiting too long in the ED to be seen

D. From a distant site of undiscovered infection

The option A is not a correct option as a Motor Vehicle Accident with no serious injuries is not a likelihood of the brain abscess as confirmed by the MRI.

The option B can be correct as the infectious molar can cause the abscess to develop in the brain.

The option C is not correct as there is an underlying cause which has caused this abscess. Waiting in the ED can only aggravate the situation which is not a case here.

The option D which indicate the distant site of an undiscovered infection can be an option.

So the two possible answers are Option B and D.

Now the likelihood of the undiscovered distant infection is less as if the infection is not discovered yet, it is very rare that it would affect the brain first so the correct option remaining by the process of elimination is option B.

A direct extension of the infectious molar

Explanation:

A brain abscess is also known as cerebral abscess. and it is known to be caused by collection or accumulation of infected substances or materials in the brain.

Examples of the things that accumulate in the brain to cause a brain abscess are bacteria, live and dead fungi, infected white blood cells, infected brain cells among others.

In this case, the brain abscess in the client, which resulted to a seizure is a direct extension of the infectious molar. This is because, it has been discovered that a tooth infection is a primary cause of pus accumulation in the brain.

Poliovirus is an rna virus of the picornavirus group, which uses its rna as mrna. at its 5' end, the rna genome has a viral protein (vpg) instead of a cap. this is followed by anontranslated leader sequence, and then a single long protein-coding region (~7000 nucleotides), followed by a poly-a tail. observations were made that used radioactive amino acid analogues. short period use of the radioactive amino acids result in labeling of only very long proteins, while longer periods of labeling result in several different short polypeptides. what conclusion is most consistent with the results of the radioactive labeling experiment? a) host cell ribosomes only translate the viral code into short polypeptides.b) the rna is only translated into a single long polypeptide, which is then cleaved into shorter ones.c) the rna is translated into short polypeptides, which are subsequently assembled into large ones.d) the large radioactive polypeptides are coded by the host, whereas the short ones are coded for by the virus.
