选项 A、embraces
B、comprises
C、involves
D、includes

答案C

解析 词汇辨析题。本句指出:我们有机会对我们如何提供健康保健重新进行全盘思考。不仅将健康保健变成医疗服务,还要使其成为在进行决策时让病人参加的预防性检查。involve sb.in doing sth.表示使某人参与某活动或陷入某情况,既然是对健康保健重新进行全盘思考(wholesale rethinking),肯定是要致力提高服务质量,如果在进行决策的时候让病人参与其中,就能为病人提供更好的服务,让他们感到满意,因此involve是本题正确选项。embrace,comprise及include都有"包括"的意思。embrace通常指纳入一些附属性的成分,comprise是指提到的所有部分,include更多是指不完全的纳入,但这几个词都不能后跟in doing sth.用法。
