Correct answer: B

Rationale: Medial means toward the midline of the body. In anatomical terms, 'medial' refers to positions closer to the midline of the body, which divides the body into left and right halves. Choice A is incorrect as it describes 'lateral,' which means away from the midline. Choice C is incorrect as it describes 'lateral' or 'side.' Choice D is incorrect as it describes 'inferior,' which means below or lower in position.

'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

Cafeterias are common areas in hospitals where staff may have conversations, but discussing private client details in this public setting is a violation of patient privacy.

Choice C, 'Experimental drug therapy,' is incorrect as it involves the administration of new drugs for research purposes, not isolation. Choice D, 'Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit,' is incorrect as it implies being detained in a rehabilitation facility, not isolation for health reasons.
